Week 3

I have learned many new websites that I can use in the classroom as a future teacher. So many cool thing I don't know where to start. Ok first I'll start with the king website, Symbaloo. A site that boasts that you will make it your homepage has some big shoes to fill (mine until now was google like everybody else on earth). Anyway symbaloo sweeps right on in with easy acess, convenient set-up and elegant design. It is a great way to organize the plethora of websites you know and love. As I learn of new websites to use in the classroom i add the to my tab most ingeniously titled"School Stuff". No doubt a fundamental tool to any web savvy teacher. From there I continue to several sites that can be used to create online crossword puzzles. These can definetly be a fun way to shake things up in the classroom (without giving up on educational content ;). Then I learnt about a few sites that can summarize a text some can even count the frequency of certain words. The applications of these sites are not lost on me.... I have already summarized a few lengthy academic papers (In order to get a general idea of course and not for accuracy). Then one of the sites that I enjoyed the most was quizlett. Here is a website where a teacher can create a set of terms (with their definitions) and there are a few varied ways to study the cards whether its old school flash cards or tests, the studying is clean and intuitive. Quizlett also offers a few modes to play with the terms through games where points are given for the correct answer or definition to the terms.
So all-in-all I have learned alot about educational websites and expect to learn more
