Project 7 - PuzzleMaker and Microsoft Paint



Before learning how to do this project, I had never heard of puzzlemaker.com before.  This is great resource for the classroom, I had always wondered how teachers made their word searches and other puzzles. I worked on this project by myself, the first thing that I did was I went to www.puzzlemaker.com and made a word search about plant parts.  I then took that word search and copied and pasted it into microsoft word.  After pasting the word search into Microsoft Word I pressed the print screen button and then pasted the print screen into Paint.  In Paint I cut out just the  word search and saved it as a paint document.  By doing this I could make the visual picture that you see above.  Then taking the actual word search that I saved as a word document i could link it to the picture above.  So that when you click on the picture it takes you right to the word search.
I will integrate this into the classroom by teaching the children how to make their own puzzles on puzzlemaker.com.  This will benefit them by giving them another technology trick that they will be competent in using.
