www.jigsawplanet.com allows you to create online jigsaws from any image. Free and easy to use, you can then share the link or embed into a webpage. This has a number of potential uses but would make an excellent homework task. In his blog, Richard Byrne (@rmbyrne) suggests importing wordles. This would work really well for languages but I have been playing around with other options too. Players can opt to look at the completed image at anytime with the tap in the bottom left corner. There are a number of different piece shapes available also and you can alter the difficulty when creating. If you connect two pieces together correctly, they stay together. I have made some examples below. Suggestion 1 - wordles etc with key words are a good idea but you could also input word swirls, waves or love hearts created on festisite. Suggestion 2 - like the example I made above, you could label images. I made this one by labelling up the pictures with text boxes in power point and then opted to save the power point as a JPEG rather than a show. It was still a little large, so I cropped the image before using. Suggestion 3 - You could input questions and answers or an example piece of writing like for a controlled assessment. EXAMPLE Suggestion 4 - For a more traditional jigsaw, you could make hard copies as an in-class challenge. Print screen, stick onto card and cut up.
With sketchalot you can create a sketch and share easily with students. Teachers can create a free account and then add students to the group so everyone can contribute to the piece of work. With story jumper, you can create you or your students can create stories and publish online. It is easier and more flexible to use than storybird, as you can import your own images. You can view an example I made for year 7 homework here |
