How fast do you read?

I don’t know how accurate or important this is, but it is fun.  It is a common speed reading measure that takes the number of words read per minute with a comprehension gate (miss questions and it invalidates your session).  Give it a try yourself

By the way, I was really slow, below the average 11th grader, the first time.  Having a longer passage and larger font pushed me way up, though still not to college professor range.  You can make those adjustments by clicking on the gear icon in the upper-right of the “book”.

“Moodle” Official Music Video – Great student project…I kinda hate Moodle too, though.

Moodle 2+ has been a nightmare and I don’t see it improving…ever. I’m going to ditch it as soon as it’s convenient to do so. However, it could be worse. I could be forced to use Blackboard 🙂

This is a fun student project pimping the virtues of Moodle.

Evolving English: One Language, Many Voices – English language quiz, fun but certainly not easy

Take the quiz at http://www.bl.uk/evolvingenglish/quiz.html This is pretty fun, but not all that easy, even the “easy peasy” setting. Might be a little easier for someone raised in the UK, but not much easier I’d guess.

I especially like the corrective feedback.

The quiz is no longer there, but you can see the results.
