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.

Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven and Homer

With Halloween coming up, I always think of E.A.P. and The Raven.  To see what I posted previously about him click here.  I also love to look at Homer's version of The Raven.  See below.

TED ED has a video on E.A.P. see below

TeachEngineering

 

From their website, "TeachEngineering is here to make it easy, accessible and FREE for all educators to bring engineering into their classroom."  If you are teaching math or science and want some hands on ideas this might be a site for you.  To see the website click here.  They also have a youtube page that you can see by clicking here.

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.'

A Creative Commons slide show by Donna Baumbach entitled "66+ interesting ways to use ThingLink in the Classroom" can be found by clicking here.   Here are also some excellent resources by Lisa Johnson.
