One for the Interactive Whiteboard: Classtools Fruit Machine October 6, 2009
Posted by loislindemann in : interactive whiteboard , trackback
The fruit machine is a fun way of picking students randomly.
It’s easy to set up: just go to the Classtools website and enter a list of names. You can copy the names from a list made on a word processor or spreadsheet—then you don’t have to keep typing them each time. As soon as you have entered the list, just click the button that says ‘Fruit Machine’ and kerching—up comes a name.
Once a student’s name has been selected, you have the option to remove them from the list, or you can leave them in for another chance to be chosen. This will definitely keep students on their toes!
This is great for selecting students to answer questions or present results in class. It could also be used to randomly select pairs or groups of students.
Alternatively, why not enter a list of keywords instead of names? Then use the fruitmachine to select one at random and ask students to explain what it means.
