Subject: a really worthwhile recommendation



Shalom All,

I recently wrote to Etni to enquire about a program, which would enable me to prepare interactive materials for my classes. So firstly thanks to all who replied and suggested hotpotatoes. Then my problem was that I wanted to upload the exercises that I had prepared onto the Internet. Hot potatoes enables this, however, the address of the site where the exercises can be found is too long.

My problem was solved when I used a new, free program called esnips. This is a program which enables the user to download material ( files and photographs) onto his\her personal place on the web. It also has the possibility of opening up a public folder, which supplies the user with a web address. The user can then upload any files into this public folder, which has a web address, chosen by the user. So now I have my site and anyone can visit it. It is really only in the very initial stages as I have been playing around. However, I will be able to open up different public folders for different classes.

One of the main reasons why I so wanted to create the exercises and have them on the net, was that I am teaching a very special 8th grade class. The level of the pupils is not high and they function best in front of a computer.

You can go to www.esnips.com/web/safot to see my exercises - nothing to brag about - but just to give a feeling of what can be done

The program esnips can be downloaded at www.esnips.com

Enjoy,
Iris.
