Home | JOG THE WEB - 2 views

    Is a website which allows you to create a internet scavenger hunt with the advantage of being about to guide the students from website to website. The teacher can annotade each website and students. A great tool especially for younger students. It is free to use. A tutorial is available

    I just checked it out and see that it can be a great tool. I really like that you can annotate and direct students' attention on each step of the "web jog". I could see gathering specific sites for students to explore and then have them create something new (Glog, Voicethread, Powtoon) with what they learned. Thanks for the find!

    Nick, seems like a great tool that teachers could utilize easily. I tried to explore a bit to find information about cost and storage etc. and could not find anything. Do you know more about this?

    Sabine, With regards to cost, it is free. I am unsure about how much storage that they give you to use on the site. That was something that was not talked about at the conference where I discovered the tool.
