Web 2.0 Tools
ABSOLUTELY fantastic - you create a class and give kids the code. They sign up with an email address. They customize their profile by choosing sport, movies, music, etc. and family and friends. Next they click on an area to practice - apostrophes. Ten questions that are tailored to that student's interests. Immediate feedback and a chance to go back and correct their mistakes using a tutorial if they don't understand. Teachers can follow students' progress easily. Talk about differentiated instruction...self-pacing by student, fun and interesting...great summative tool. NoRedInk
