Assignment #6: Study Tools 2.0
This was my first attempt with Quizlet. I think that it would be a nice resource when I want a practice for students before a test or a quiz. It would be great for those who are doing extensions to practice and evaluate how they are doing. I liked that there were so many sets already set up that others created that I can browse and borrow! Here is a quick set I created on number properties so that kids can practice which property is which. This is a great activity to go with a flipped lesson before they take a checkpoint. The first attempt I switched them around, so make sure you put the terms in the first column. :) I also liked that you could import pictures or copy and paste number sentences from other sites easily.
The 2nd tool I used was Spicynodes. I created a mind map overview of 6th grade's unit 2, an intro into algebra. It gives vocab, examples, etc on the chapter's main points. It help me as the teacher see what needs to be covered, and gives them a preview of and study tool for the chapter. I liked that I could embed in images I found on google to use as examples. This looks nicer and saves me a ton of time creating examples. I think I would like to do this on each chapter if the kids find it useful.

You and Jon Larson did the same topic!! Funny. Can I use yours as well to work on the properties? I find it fun how we all know the same struggling spots for kids.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I like how many different ways you can go through the Quizlet set, and I was amazed by how many sets are available already.
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteI think Quizlet will be a real fun way for kids to practice vocabulary. I need to check my list of words to see if the option of choosing how to study is on mine. I learn so much from my colleagues!
