2.0


Below is my screencast video to view my instruction on 3 different Web 2.0 tools!

Web 2.0 Examples

Well, I got a little carried away with this assignment and my screencast told me I was running out of time so I apologize for the quick exit at the end!

I thought this was a great assignment and fun to explore new web ideas! I ended up presenting on one new 2.0 tool, Quizlet, but then I also gave you a brief overview on two other tools, Moby Max and Kahoot. I'm going to talk a little bit about each of these below. It's similar information I stated in my video, but I know some people like to read when they learn, and some like to listen and watch, so whatever you prefer I hope you enjoy my 2.0 tools!

Quizlet -  This is an online learning tool that aides in study habits. Students can create their own study sets with definitions, questions, or facts. Teachers can also create a study set for the entire class and share it with their students so everyone is studying the same materials. You can use this as a review game and to improve study skills. Students learn by a variety of strategies such as flashcards, mini-quizzes, matching, writing, games, true false, multiple choice, and many more!

Moby Max - This tool is an online database that finds and fixes learning gaps with the power of personalized learning. Every student logged in to Moby Max is doing work at their appropriate grade level in each subject. Students love the fast pace and individualized learning. The features on Moby Max allow the most gifted students to progress as quickly as they can and those that need more help to receive extra instruction. Moby Max finds and fixes learning gaps across K-8 subjects of reading, math, language arts, writing, science, spelling, and phonetics. This website creates beautiful graphs and data for parents, teachers, and administrators to discuss. One of it's best features is that a student can be working on higher math and lower reading, each individual subject is set to that student's needs.

Kahoot - Kahoot is a game-based learning platform that makes learning fun! Teachers create a quiz on any topic and then students compete with one another in the class while playing the review game. My students love the bright colors, competitive nature, and easy to use features!

  2. I loev quizlet and Kahoot. I don't think I've seen many things get as great of a response in a high school classroom as Kahoot does everytime. Quizlet seems super practical, I haven't seen many teachers use it though. Moby Max sounds incredible. I'm going to check it out right now, hopefully that's something I can use in my future, because you made it seem amazing!
