Project 3
Puzzle Maker and Microsoft Paint Project
In
this project, we used Discovery Channel's puzzlemaker.com to create a
fun wordfind. Once on the website, you choose how many words you want
to use, write them into the space provided, and enter--the site
scatters the words automatically and displays the puzzle. Since it is
October and Halloween is fast approaching, I felt it would be
appropriate and festive to use this theme for my puzzle. Our next step
was cutting and pasting the puzzle into Microsoft Word and adding a
picture that applied to our wordfind's theme. Next, we used Paint in
order to edit the picture and puzzle's outline and size. From here, we
once again moved to Nvu to create the actual webpage and make the link,
and finally, we launched our finished product using FileZilla. This
will helpful to know as a teacher because you are creating your own
wordfind--it can be on any topic at a variety of skill levels, so
regardless of what your students are learning, they will be able to
enjoy the activity.
