Over 20 Free Digital Classroom Tools… Customize… Plus No Log In! | 21 st Cent... - 0 views

  •  
    " What amazed me most about Classtools.net was not the valuable tools provided, but the ability for teachers to easily customize these tools and use them in any subject area. If that is not enough, how about the ability to embed your newly made instructional resource on your own classroom website, wiki, or blog? Any educator will also like the fact that students have no need to log in or sign up for an account… and neither do teachers! Need tutorials… they are provided! Do samples help you understand better… you will find plenty! Is budget a problem… then free should be affordable! Classtools.net is the work of educator, Russel Tarr, Head of History at the International School of Toulouse, France. Upon entering the site, educators will see the listing of tools. Clicking on a tool allows teachers to individualize that specific tool for their own classroom needs. Teachers then have the option of copying a generated link to place on their own web site or of copying a generated code to embed as a tool (widget) on their classroom site. Also, on the front page, are some video links that will provide further information. Two videos that provide excellent information are the 1 Minute Overview and How to Create Games. The Listing Of Over 20 Digital Tools For Your Classroom The tools that you can even customize are included below. Along with this tool listing you will find descriptions of each tool, an overview of and samples of specific tools (if provided), and any related video (if provided). * Arcade Game Generator - Allows teachers to create concept builders, practice exercises, and reviews. Best of all, one set up feeds into five different game possibilities at the same time The teacher can choose which game, or allow students a choice. Make sure you check out all the examples and pre-made games in (overview and samples). Also watch the How to Create Games . * Random Name Picker - Can be used as an activity management tool or skip the names.

Play online, learn online and feed the hungry | Freerice.com - 0 views

  •  
    FreeRice is a product of the United Nations World Food Program and aims to raise awareness about hunger. By asking visitors simple trivia questions in English vocabulary and grammar, math, geography subjects, human anatomy and more, the site has raised enough funds to provide meals to over 10 million people. The site is nothing spectacular in terms of design, but given that it is first and foremost a charitable site, this shortcoming is certainly forgivable.

Top 10 Web 2.0 for Educators - NICE Miniconference - Teach42 - 0 views

  •  
    Doing a revamped version of my Top 10 Web 2.0 for Educators. Most radical change is that I don't have an aggregator in there. Still kinda torn about that. Part of it is that time is limited, but another piece is that I'm not positive that it's as relevant as it used to be. Considering people are aggregating via their inbox, via iGoogle, via My Yahoo, within the browser and more. There's so many ways to subscribe, that I'm not positive it's worth including an aggregator in this type of fast paced presentation.

Free Technology for Teachers: 20 Web 2.0 Tools for Teachers - 0 views

  •  
    20 Web 2.0 Tools for Teachers is the title of a nice slide presentation created by Simon Ward. Ward's presentation contains some very familiar sites like Delicious and also includes some lesser-known sites. In fact, there were a few sites in the slide presentation that I don't recall ever seeing before. Take a few minutes to go through the presentation and you might find a new-to-you tool too.
