Making learning relevant to learners is a great way to engage and motivate them. One way I have done this is through 'hacking' websites. By 'hacking' what I really mean is temporarily changing the content of a website (any website) to suit your needs. This is not illegal as the changes made are not permanent and only appear on your computer. You will need to print screen the website after you have changed the content to then paste into your presentation to keep for future uses.
What is it?
Changing content of websites to suit your lesson.
How does it work?
Go to the page you want to hack and wait for it to be load fully. If you do it before, it will only edit what has already loaded. Delete the web address in the URL bar and copy and paste this code into the url bar:
javascript: document.body.contentEditable = 'true'; document.designMode = 'on'; void 0
Hit Enter. If it has worked you will now be able to alter the content of this website.
What can I use it for?
Starters, Plenaries, Student research...and a great deal more!!
X-ray vision is an easy way to do this.
