Last week, we designed a lesson for ECOII in the virtual platform Edmodo and included an authoring tool called Hot Potatoes. At the very begining I didn't like any of the tools proposed for the task because I believed that they didn't give us many opportunities to be creative. However, we chose to work with Hot Potatoes and made the effort to adapt an activity from a book to the tool. But what I found quite interesting is another tool that one of classmates came across with: ProProfs. We decided to include it in our lesson because it fulfilled the purpose of the activity we had though of.
Here you can create quizzes, flashcards, polls and surveys. Have a look at it! It's easy to use and practical.

Marcia, I couldn't agree more. It was also hard for us to feel comfortable using authoring tools. In my case, I find it much more useful and easy to work with other kind of tools.
