Online study tools

Quizlet allows you to make flashcards and create a mini quiz. Could be used in the classroom or even at home for students to study on their own! I think online study tools are a great resource for all students. I just became familiar with them now (my senior year of college) I wish I had known about them sooner!

There are a lot of websites out there that allow you to create study guides. My personal favorite is flashcardmachine.com. I like that you can add images as well as just text. It has been very helpful throughout college.

One great way to incorporate online study tools in the classroom, especially with older grades, is to create classroom study sets so students can log on at home and know what is expected for them to study for upcoming tests/quizzes. It takes out the element of guessing what is important!

I'm not sure how I would incorporate this with younger grades. Perhaps create flashcards to assess what kids already know prior to a lesson. Could be used with smart board or iclickers to make them interactive! Could also be a fun "get to know you" activity on the first day of class! Put names/photos, or fun facts on cards!
