[Yr7-10it] - Good Puzzle Making Website

[Paul Pascoe]

Folks, 

If you are doing Computer Awareness in Junior classes (Y7 & 8 IT), then an
activity to break the Theory up a bit is to use this excellent site:
http://www.armoredpenguin.com/  . 

Give the students a List of IT words, and have them use the online
dictionary  www.webopedia.com to get clues for the words. 

They can then make a Crossword on the armoredpenguin site, and do "List for
Public" so that it is saved onto the web.  The students can then try do each
other's crosswords.  They can also go on to make word searches and other
puzzles as well, for the faster ones.  

My Year 7 class really enjoyed it. 

Have Fun,
