Teacher tools - Basic randomiser


Basic multi-purpose randomising tool

This is a very basic randomiser for teachers wanting to randomise groups of words, phrases or sentences for copying and pasting into a document, with subsequent formatting to make worksheets. It does no formatting itself and is offered on an "as is" basis.

Possible uses

  1. Randomising a group of words, for use in a matching or gapfill exercise for example
  2. Jumbling words within a sentence or group of sentences, for example for word order questions
  3. Jumbling a group of sentences within a paragraph - students order the sentences
  4. Making anagrams or groups of anagrams

 
The best way to see how it works is probably to play around with it for a minute or two.
Known issues - Internet Explorer adds some spaces into anagrams when done in groups. It jumps around a bit.
