Fruit Machine

Need a fun way to engage your students in your lessons? Try the fruit machine! You can enter your students' names to call on them in random order.

Try using the machine with other information as well. For example, put in vocabulary from a unit you are studying. Have one student stand with their back to the machine and let others give clues about the word for the student to guess.

Have fun and please share your ideas!

Tiny URL!

Do you often visit the computer lab and have a difficult time getting your students to the site you want? Try this great tool to make your URL shorter! Go to www.tinyurl.com and put in the website you are using. This will then create a new URL that will take you to the same place. For example, change http://waynesboro.va.schoolwebpages.com/education/components/sectionlist/default.php?sectiondetailid=4937&PHPSESSID=04272fcbf3aedf6d379af76dcb668b2a into http://tinyurl.com/6xth5z. That’s 148 characters changed into only 25! You can even customize what you want the new URL to be! Give it a try!
