Hot potatoes. What comes to my mind at first was a delicious baked potatoes served right after being cooked. Yummy! but does not make sense with the course. Then it turned out that it is the software we're going to explore about. Yep, it is half-baked softwarethat can be used to create different web-based learning activities. By the software, you can create crossword, multiple choice, matching activity, etc. It includes five applications as mentioned in the picture above, those are: JCloze, JMatch, JQuiz, JCross, and JMix. Each of them has different function. JCloze, for instance, is used to make cloze reading activity. Here is the interface of hot potatoes made by my group for assignment about reading:
Comics Authoring. Another way to conduct reading activity is by using comics. You can engage students interest to read with interesting visual appearance of comics. Pictures can get student attention to the text. Trust me, the reading experience will be so much more enjoyable. There are some free websites allow teachers to create their own comics with included pictures, those are:
