OCR Scanning and Interactive Quizzes

Quia is no longer just a board game that we grew up playing.  Quia.com  provides an avenue for teachers to create their own games and quizzes.

One of our teachers who bought the paid version of Quia encountered a hurdle though in creating her own interactive lessons.  There are a lot of typing involved and she needed to enter texts from printed materials.  However the typing is taking a lot of her time preparing for lessons.  So comes the solution of using the OCR scanning feature of our HP Scanjet 3110.  I was able to show her during one-on-one session how to use it and saved the scanned image as PDF or Word.  Voila!
