My new favorite blog, Teachers Use Tech, gave me this app idea!
A spinner app with cool graphics and crisp audio, this app allows you to customize your spinner choices if you get the .99 cent version!
1. Plug in the names of kids in your class to randomly pick participants.
2. Enter vocabulary words on the teacher iPad (and project on Apple TV or LCD) and have students spin to pick a word they must translate as a bell-ringer review.
3. Students can enter their own text to create a list of words they can quiz each other with! Gives student choice of words and high student-to-student interaction!
4. What about using charades words? Students spin to select what they will act out (keeping the spinner private), while other students have to guess. This would take care of one problem I have when doing charades, that when several students have gone, the answer gets to be too easy to guess...now, they might have to repeat words so it will keep them on their toes.
Any other ideas?
