I have recently resurrected an old project and combined it with my hot potatoes project. The old project being to liven up the academic word list with games to help students learn the vocab so it lends itself quite well to being made interactive. My first attempt has been quite successful, superficially at least. There are a few things that didn't work as I wanted them to but that is just something to work on next time, realistically I did achieve a set of interactive exercises embedded into a single web page and looking quite nice!
The main thing to work on is incorporation of images, in my paper games for the AWL I have vocabulary colour co-ordinated by sub-list. I succeeded in doing this with some of the exercises by making the words into images with coloured backgrounds. Unfortunately when I uploaded them to dropbox I lost the images so in this set of exercises there are a lot of white boxes. My next challenge is colour!
Oh and mobile function... some of the exercises work on my smart-phone, some don't. I suspect that any of the exercises that involve moving blocks will be difficult to make really usable on a phone but equally I think they will be the best type of exercises for use on IWB's and tablets.
