HOT POTATOES
Hi, everyone..!
Back with me again in my 6th posts. In this post, I'm going to write about the benefits using online quizzes, but it is not the same like I post before. This time, I will discuss a new site that helps teacher and students in their teaching learning activities. The site is call Hot Potatoes. This site is really different from any other online quizzes site.
And also, I want to share how to make Hot Potatoes as your learning media for both teacher and students. And, here are the steps:
1. Open your Internet browser (Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.)
2. Open www.google.com, then type "Hot Potatoes" as your keyword.
3. Choose the first order, or simply open (https://hotpot.uvic.ca/)
4. Find the download table.
5. Then, click download which is suitable with your computer (Windows, Linux, Macintosh)
6. Wait until the process is done.
7. Open the downloaded file (application file).
8. Follow the step to download hot potatoes on your computer or laptop.
9. Launch hot potatoes.
10. Type the username.
11. Choose one that you want to use for making exercises (JCloze, JQuiz, JMatch, JMix, or JCross).
12. Create your questions and answers, based on the techniques that you used before.
13. If it is done, save it by choosing the file types (.jmt or .htm)
14. .jmt is for the file that still can be edited.
15. .htm is for the file that can be shown on the internet website to be played by the students.
The benefits of using Hot Potatoes is that this application had an complete technique of exercises (from multiple choice, crosswords, etc.). Also, this application needs internet connection for a while than any other online quizzes site before. And, this application is also can be used for all grades.
The weaknesses of using Hot Potatoes is that the tools are not really clear enough. If we want to save it in the different file types, the tool will be different. However, for the other points, I do not find anymore weaknesses in this application. I think this is a good application for teachers when they want to give their students an innovative way of doing an exercise.
In the future, I will use this application as my media teaching in the classroom. I want to give my students various types of exercises, not just the regular one.
I think that's all my description about Hot Potatoes apps, the benefits, and the weaknesses, and also the steps of using Hot Potatoes.
Don't forget to leave me a good comments on my blog posts!
Here are the examples of my hot potatoes exercises:
a) China Red Army Schools
b) China Red Army School Section 2

Nice work, Gideon. However, just 1 thing you need to do later (maybe). You can make your post into paragraphs. If you make it into paragraphs, I think it will be better either for the reader or for you yourself.
BalasHapusThat's it. The rest has been good.
JBU!
