Fifth Educational Tutorial - Making a word search in 4 easy steps

Being able to create our own material will open up the possibility of sharing it with fellow colleagues and therefore making the most out of our time when planning for new lessons. As students hunt for words, their brain is learning the new words. Thus, take advantage of these resources to help students experience learning in a different way.

Trying reading the following paragraph:

"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae.

First Educational Tutorial

There are different ways we can deliver academic contents to both students and colleagues, for instance attending workshops, watching tutorial clips, among others. 

The website StoryBird lets anyone make visual stories in seconds. It has inspired writers of any age to turn images into fresh stories. It's a simple idea that has attracted millions of writers, readers, artists, families and friends, teachers and students, and amateurs and professionals, who have also created more than 5 million stories. 

Try out this tutorial and please post your reactions and mention whether or not you could create your account. The video itself is my first tutorial clip creation. There are more tutorials and knowledge clips to come.
