Puzzlemaker is exactly what it says – a way to make puzzles.
Teachers can create word finds, crossword puzzles, mazes, cryptograms, etc.,
using this free puzzle creator. Puzzlemaker walks teachers through creating
their puzzle with easy step by step instructions.
I could see primarily using this to create semi-educational
time killers – for example, if there was a substitute teacher and I wanted to
give them extra resources in case they had extra time, or (in the case of my
very cold location) as an activity during indoor recess. I can’t see using it
as a primary teaching or learning tool.
I think that this resource is okay. I don’t like or dislike
it, but it isn’t something exciting that a teacher would likely be using often.
It is free (unless you want to buy the CD-ROM with extra features), so it would
be nice to use on occasion to create extra activity options. I wouldn’t
recommend it as anything more than that.
