Hot Potato Hot Potato!

Hot Potato is a program that teachers can use to create all sorts of educational materials for use in the classroom. It is exceptionally helpful in creating interactive tests, exercises or any assessment for that matter.

The main features of Hot Potato are:
1. Multiple-choice exercises
2. Short-answer quizzes
3. Jumbled-sentences
4. Crosswords
5. Matching/ordering
6. Gap-fill exercises

Hot Potatoes also comes with four major applications:
JCloze
JCross
JMatch
JMix
JQuiz

What is so good about Hot Potatoes is the user friendly element! After the presentation, I feel that I could quite easily incorporate this innovation into my classroom. It is not time consuming, nor is it irrelevant. Complete lessons could be set around it, or just as study or practice for upcoming tests and assessments.
