Tools you can use to Level Up your class
1. Match the Memory
Play a fun, free memory matching game in your web browser (on any platform, including Mac, Linux, iOs, and Android). Make a custom memory game for free using your own pictures, videos, events, and links.
2. PuzzleFast
PuzzleFast Instant Puzzle Maker is a truly useful web application for teachers. It’s a breeze to use, and it’s free! Oftentimes, textbook publishers provide handouts that are dull or not challenging enough. Teachers are left with the options of a) making do with handouts that obviously miss the mark or b) putting a lot of effort into making ones that work.
With PuzzleFast, teachers can create custom word puzzles — as easy or difficult as desired — in just minutes, using whatever vocabulary is lesson-relevant.
3. PurposeGames
PurposeGames lets you create and play games. Students, teachers, and rockstars alike all come here to create and learn.
