Thank you. No, thank YOU! Thanks-o-meter
March 4, 2009
Do you have one of those classes that skipped some lessons on manners, like saying please and thank you? Do you have language learners who need to increase their vocabulary for social conversation? Is your class stuck in the blahs between the February holidays and spring break? You can meet these needs and more at Thanks-o-meter, a site that lets you write thank-you notes either free-style, or using the word choices they give you. That’s the creation part. Thanks-o-meter then takes the words picked and adds them to a graph showing how frequently others have used the words you picked. In addition, you can send the thank-you to your recipient as an email. Another plus, they are really trying to keep it school- and kid-friendly, giving rules for the road, and the ability to flag inappropriate content. So recognize others, teach manners, and teach vocabulary at Thanks-o-meter. -ALICE MERCER
