Crossword maker

Crosswords are always a favourite but can be a bore to create. ArmoredPenguin.com allows for really easy creation of crosswords that actually look good when printed (no adverts or branding). See my example:

You can type your clues and answers in on the web-based creation page or import a .txt file, so long as you separate your words from the clues with a colon :

Unlike many other crossword makers, this one supports multiple word answers, either leaving spaces or combining the words for the grid and automatically adding the number of words to the clue.

The site is explained well and is easy to use, click below and check it out:

Label diagrams or photos with interactive labels. This can be a really useful homework task with huge potential. I've created my own ICT related example below to demonstrate the idea.

When setting a 'thinglink' task as homework I suggest you include success criteria such as - "X youtube links and Y wikipedia links maximum, all links must have a description." to make sure students get the most out of this. Links to thinglinks could be uploaded to Moodle or emailed to you and can easily then be embedded or linked for future use by your students.
