Quizlet digital flash cards and more

 

I have posted about Quizlet previously.  To see these posts click here.  There are plenty of premade flashcards or you can make your own.  Most people make these cards to study mode ( see left hand side for options) but you can also learn using them in game mode.

Once picking match you can just grab a term and slide it over to the proper definition.  Here is an example from  a Spanish class.  Click here.  If you select Match you can play the matching game.  You might just want your students to hear the terms in Spanish.  If you go back to Study Play menu page and scroll down you will see all the terms and definitions.  There is a "Play audio" icon that your students can click to hear the Spanish.  Here is an example for a student studying Anatomy.  Looks like they have used Thinglink ( to see my post on Monday click here).  To see the Anatomy Quizlet click here.  Again you can play Match.

ThingLink

 

This is a free app that allows you to make pictures interactive.  You place a pinmark on your picture and then you can make that pinmark pop with text,  videos, links etc when someone touches them.   Students have added multimedia labels to cells or geographic features.  Teachers could make their rubrics pop by putting links to examples or video tutorials.  You can see the website by clicking here.'

From our friends at Classtools.net.  If you would like to annotate a picture so that you can click on a discription this is the place to go.  You might want to annotate a diagram for science class or a picture for history class with names etc.  If you click on the red dots on the  picture of my kids taken on their Santa visit in 2012 you will see a picture that I annotated.  To see the website click here.  An alternative to this is Thinglink and Pic-Collage.  I posted about this in 2016 and you can see this by clicking here.

ThingLink and Pic-Collage

This will be my last post of the 2015-2016 school year.  Good luck on your exams and have a great summer.  I will be posting again in September.

A couple of years ago I posted about ThingLink.  It is a free app that allows you to use your  device to make interactive pictures by placing pins on the photo.  When you mouse of the pin it will pop open to show another picture or video or a map or whatever else you can embed.  I have posted below example from math from Mary Kate Brennan's webpage.  The frog dissection was from a student contest on ThingLinks web page.  Also a collage with links to youtube like the one below could be done for science or art very easily using Pic-Collage and ThingLink.  Donna Baumbach made a Creative Commons slide show entitled "88+ Interesting Ways to Use ThingLink in the Classroom.  To see the slide show click here.

Stipple

I posted about ThingLink on Friday Nov 21 2012.  You can see the post by clicking here.  Stipple is an alternative to ThingLink.  It is away to make interactive pictures.  You can have your pictures have links or videos that are pinned to your pictures.

ThingLink and Slope

I previously posted about ThingLink on November 1 2013, see here.  I saw some interesting ThingLink posts on math, particularly the concept of slope.  Go to this link to see the actual ThingLink on Mary Kate Brennan's page by clicking here.  There are others that students made on this page at the bottom.  It might give you some ideas of something you and your students can do.
