    • The background options for your word magnets are really the highlight
      of this website.  You can do everything from word sorts, to venn diagrams,
      to practicing alphabetic order.  Create tables; sort words by their root,
      prefix, or suffix; link ideas; practice building sentences; create a timeline of
      events, take attendance…the possiblities with this site are endless!  If
      you are going to use this site for taking attendance, I would suggest creating a
      master list in a saved word document that you can copy and paste from (this will
      save you from re-typing names every morning).  This is an excellent site
      for an interactive whiteboard or to use as a center activity.  This is an
      easy way to create customized interactive lessons for your classroom. 
      Because you enter the content, this site is appropriate for any grade
      level.



      Tips:
      One thing I wish this site
      had: the ability to save.  If you want to save words to interact with over
      and over, create a document that you can copy and paste from.  If you want
      to save a copy of the word magnets after students have interacted with them,
      take a screen shot of it.
