Hot Potatoes

 What's Hot Potatoes?

 It's a free lesson construction software to build a teaching website; includes crosswords, gap-fills, cloze tests, matching, multiple choice, etc

Click here to download Hot Potatoes 

How can you use it?
After creating your actvities you can save them in the Public folder in "Dropbox".
Here is an example:

In this case, I used Hot Potatoes Masher to create a complete unit of exercises. How can you do it? If you're interested in learning I can help you in person, or just start experimenting on your own by resorting to the "HELP" button in Hot Potatoes. Good luck :-)

Voxopop is a very useful tool for the creation of discussion groups. Remember that the secret is to encourage learners to keep the discussion going by asking them good questions
