Jeff,
I tried to learn Latin a year and a half ago. Cambridge was my favorite reader, along with the online Tarheel Reader. Do either of those work for you?
…textivate has 3 new “games” who wants to be a millionaire, snake, and space invaders….
Perfect if you have a lab. I’m too lazy to set it up. Can the new games just be done in class off my laptop cart? Man textivate is already a big winner, so this new stuff is just gravy.
James Hosler alert – do we need to update your Textivate flow chart with the new information?
James do we need a flow chart for Robert’s story frames idea?
The new textivate activities I like because they are the same basic idea – put sentences of a previously read story in order, or spell the missing word in the text – but they “gamify” them so that the kids can compete to get more points and faster times. Both fit into the flowchart that James already made.
In terms of competition they work better as individual games, but the Millionare one can be projected and done as a class. The other two are a bit harder to work in, the Snake game especially. For Space Invaders you get a sentence with a word or two missing and you have to click on the letters in the correct order before the bar comes down on you. The only way to do it as a group is to have individual students, or groups call out the letters as you click them. It is a bit awkward because you can’t type. But it is a lot of fun for the kids to play if you have a laptop cart.
