Triptico

In order to use Triptico, the user needs to go to https://www.tripticoplus.com/ and create either an individual or multiple users account. Once the account is created, the user can go to the resources page and find out different types of quizzes, selectors, timers, tools, legacy resources. Under each of these themes, there are a lot of language games. For example, there are different types of quizzes such as Find Ten, Bingo, Image Bingo, Word Mix, Find the Answer, Connect etc. Selectors, on the other hand, make the language activity interesting by allowing Text Spinner, Image Spinner, Task Spinner, PinBoard, Student Selector, Spring Selector, Flip Selector etc. Timers give options of selecting timer for language tasks or activities. Flip Timer counts time up and down, Circle timer gives an alarm when the time of the task finishes.

Theoretical Considerations:

As the activities can be designed in an interactive way, it helps to motivate the students in the classroom.

Sample Activity:

The following activity has been created by me which shows how you can make groups among your students. You can click on the link and see the task-https://tripticoplus.com/tshare/tyzn2abe/1418. I have typed the names of the students and saved. Once the link will be clicked, it will lead to the website. By scrolling down the screen, an option named Click to launch the activity will be found. Once the Click the Activity will be clicked, a new window will pop up which will show a list of names of students. At the bottom of the page, there is a menu option. It has an option named Create Groups. After selecting the option, it will show the Number of Groups and Create the Groups options. Selecting the last option will create groups automatically. Making groups among the students using this option is thrilling as the students wait to know the names of the group members. This activity is motivating for young learners.

Advantages:

1. The main advantage of using Triptico is that it gives a chance of doing interactive activities in the classroom using  an interactive whiteboard.

2. The teachers can also design a lot of activities and save the files, edit and use those in the classroom.

Limitations:

1. Triptico is not free. Although it gives a free trial for seven days, individual subscription costs 15 pounds a year. For multiple users, the site licence costs from 100 to 295 pounds.

2. The subscription fees, therefore, are the impediment to use it in the developing context like Bangladesh.
