UPDATE on LetterFall. We got a lot of feedback from our users on the game, mostly via our Facebook.com/spellingcity fan page. We ran through seven versions of the game of which we put up three for public comment.
Last week, we released LetterFall a…
We love the sentence feature, especially since I can modify it to star THEM!!
My username on spelling city is mystre, and I changed my profile to parent yesterday.
I've created a question bank in Quia with around 400 questions center mostly on K-6 tech standards here in Michigan since I was a K-6 computer lab teacher last ye…
Dale - Great stuff. Welcome to the real hard questions. Conceptually, I'm a huge fan of crowd-sourcing. But, I feel a huge responsibility to maintain the quality and usability of SpellingCity.com. If you reread my article, you'll see that I'm search…
After I posted, I checked out that feature for the first time (paying attention to other things :-) ) and I see that what I wrote really wouldn't work with the structure of the UI.
It's a difficult dilemma because you want to use and moderate user…
Hi, A few weeks ago, SpellingCity took another step towards user-shared and -generated content by allowing users to add their own sentences. Any feedback on it?
For a quick overview, look at the teacher training videos.
Also, we've created a n…
Dale. Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like it.
Question: Have you seen how we handle the customized sentences? We rolled out the new feature about three weeks ago. There were a thousand sentences written in the first three hours.

I love Spelling City. I used with my classes last year, demonstrated it to other teachers, and have my daughter create their own lists.
I say keep your defaults, but create a place, like a forum, where users can bank and share their own content.

SpellingCity - A Web 2.0 Balancing Act of Crowd and Central Wisdom

- Hi John, my username on spelling city is mystre. I changed my status from teacher to parent yesterday to reflect my change in employment (my computer lab position was eliminated due to budget cuts and I'm a midlife career changer so I'm new). I taught at Emerson in Owosso, Michigan last year. My daughters go to Seymour in Flushing, MI.
Have a great weekend
Dale
