                      Hot Potatoes

Hot Potatoes is a great program to use when you want to assess your students.  It allows you to create several kinds of interactive tests and exercises.  You can create multiple choice tests, crossword puzzles, cloze paragraphs, jumble sentences, and several other interactive exercises.  The great thing about this program is that you can create the exercises and post them on your web page for students to do at school or at home, OR you can just leave them on your computer at school if you do not yet have a web page.  Either way it is an easy program to learn and use because it comes with a comprehensive tutorial that shows you how to make everything.  You do not have to have any special knowledge of html or javascript, but if you do, you can customize it even more.  It is free to download and use forever.   I put the tutorial on this site because it takes you through some of the exercises available.  Browse through the tutorial.  Download the free program.

 

Below is a screenshot of how you make one of the many interactive tests available.
