Thing #14
In exploring the various websites, I found wonderful resources to use in my classroom. I can use http://30boxes.com/ to create a calendar for my students so they always know what assignments they will have and when they will be due. I can create quizzes for them on http://quizlet.com/ and also track their progress. I especially liked exploring http://wordle.net/. It would be great to create a vocabulary list for my students in a creative way. I think it is easier to learn and remember words when you see and study them in a format different than just the basic one word per row. This "thing" was a favorite of mine to participate in, so far. I definitely plan on implementing many of these findings in my classroom. This is one of my "wordle" creations.

If you like learning vocabulary by seeing it in lots of different ways, you'll definitely like StudyStack. At studystack.com you can enter your vocab words and definitions (like you do on Quizlet) and then the site will display ten different activities for you to use to learn them. Activities include crossword, scrambled word, hangman, flashcards, matching, fill in the blank, and a bug chasing game. You can even put the flashcards on your cell phone or iPod.
