This is a smart website for pupils who want to study for a test in a more fun way; http://glosboken.se/ . This website is very similar to www.glosor.eu, but the difference is that Glosboken offers more functions.
You as a teacher have to create an account and can then create different courses that contain tests that the pupils can take before the real test at school, but first you have to send them an invitation. After that, the pupils can log in as often as they want to.
How the resource can be used by teachers
You can create different courses, for example “English – Christmas” with tests that focus on vocabulary or/and grammar. First you choose language and as you write the word in (for example) Swedish the website will give suggestions on the word in the second language.
Before you save the question you need to decide in what way you want the question to be asked. You can choose between:
Fill in the gap
Choose the right alternative
You can also create courses like “Chemistry - atoms” where the pupils can test their knowledge in that particular subject.
How the resource can be used by pupils
For studying! As soon as they have a test, they can use this site as a study-help. Of course there is no harm in visiting this site once a day, whenever there is time for it. All participants will automatically receive access to all the exercises and messages you put into the course. Students can thus use exercises (Learn, Play, Print) - But it's still only you as a teacher that can remove and change the exercises.
When they click on the test, it will lock like this:
After a pupil have taken a test the computer will give him a grade depending on how he did on the test.
In addition to three rehearsal modes, there are also various games based on the words you post; hangman, memory, puzzles, hit-the-right-word and so on. Thus pupils will learn vocabulary while playing and having fun - work and pleasure at the same time!
Other considerations when using t
his resource
For the pupils to be able to use all functions that the site provides, they need to pay a small amount of money, for premium. The website suggested that the school pays for that. One function that you wont get unless you get premium is that you cant click on the speaker and here how to pronounce words.
Personally I think this is a great website even without this extra function and I really recommend you all to join this site. It is easy to navigate on it, which I think is important so that every pupil will want to use it!
