About WordFiller

WordFiller is an Educational Technology tool for use with an interactive smart board. This comprehension tool extracts designated key words from text, to create a challenging comprehension activity for students of all stages and subjects. Students must correctly move each word, or collection of words to where they rightly belong within the text. Students can then examine their accuracy by checking how many words were placed correctly. This interactive tool scales with the stages and the subjects, as the material that is used is the material YOU present.

WordFiller was made to help bridge the gap between Education and Technology. The interactive smart board is a highly effective teaching resource, but is lacking in support. WordFiller helps to fill this gap by providing an easily configurable tool for use within the classroom.

1. "WordFiller Move" - This will tell WordFiller to pickup the word the hand is currently hovering over.
2. "WordFiller Drop" - This will tell WordFiller to drop the current word you have been moving.
3. "WordFiller Mark" - This will tell WordFiller that you have finished placing all the words and would like to see how many you have placed correctly.
4. "WordFiller Click" - This will simulate a normal mouse click.
5. "WordFiller Open Menu" - This will open the WordFiller menu.
