What is it?
- It’s a WEB 2.0 tool that allows students to create FREE flashcards, quizzes and study teams.
What are the features of this tool?
- · Add text
- · Add video
- · Add images
- · Add voice-over recordings
- · The Funnel – a mechanism within the tool that the student can choose to be enabled - The idea is to sort flashcards into groups according to how well you know the information on each flashcard. If you know the answer to the question on the flashcard, that flashcard moves to the next level. If you don't know the information, the flashcard is sent back to the first level. The repetition of material is "spaced" in a way for you to spend most of your time studying material that is more challenging.
- · Work as teams

BELOW IS A SHORT DEMO I'VE PUT TOGETHER - TAKE A PEEK...

BP5_2010042_Web 2.0 Tools - Tikatok
Image the courtesy of http://www.tikatok.com/Another web 2.o tool that caught my eye was Tikatok. It aids students in creating their very own book - whether it be a softback or a hardback. I particularly like the idea of creating books in school using information learned because then students really own their work! Some of the features of this tool include being able to add the names of friends to your book - this helps to really personalizes the book. For example, if I had one of my students to write a book about going on a "safari" - he or she could actually visit different parts of the world online with imges etc. They can take pride in what they've created and, in middle school, self affirmation is essential to the socialization process!
