Build your own Vocab Quiz

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is get a person to study. For some, staring at a book or notes just won't work. Flashcards can be helpful, but what if you could create a vocab quiz online and share it amongst students and staff? Well, you can.

On this site, all you have to do is create a user (takes about 30 seconds), create a set (adding as much info as you want) and then take the quiz and see how you do.

This is another example of how technology can be used to reach the students that don't necessarily excel in the traditional methods of learning.

Be your own tv station

Recently, I was told about a website where you can save videos and create a tv station of your own.
Visit http://www.worldtv.com to see it in action. To see some of the videos that I'm using go to:

http://worldtv.com/blogging_tech/


I will be adding videos as I go. For now, it will start with Did You Know v. 2.0 (http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2007/06/did-you-know-20.html). You can click the "next" or "previous" buttons to flip through the three videos that I have loaded so far.

One of the huge advantages of this is that a person (student, teacher, parent, etc.) can add dozens of videos to their "station," order the videos as they see fit and them have them to present as needed (or to be viewed at one's leisure). This is a truly innovative way to store and share videos. Check it out.
