Here's an activity I created using the web tool textivate. It's based on the transcript of the St Patrick's Day in Numbers video I featured in an earlier post. In this activity, you have to rearrange the tiles to reconstruct the original text. Textivate allows you to create a whole range of activities around a single text, and I'll come back to it in a future post. If you want to see the video at the same time as the activity, click on the 'film' icon next to where it says 'Log out' at the top right of the screen.
