Exam Review

(Originally posted 1/10/11)

Here are two ways that technology can help you and your students prepare for exams:

1) Quizlet is a great site for making on-line flashcards. You can make a flashcard set as a class, students can make their own, or search the site for sets from other users. Quizlet offers various ways to practice, as well.

2) For the bigger picture, consider using Google Drawing to make mind map diagrams. Go to Google docs, Create New..Drawing, then just drag in shapes, double-click to add text, and connect shapes with arrows. Here's one I'm working on for my class. Of course, since it's Google, you can make changes and not have to re-share (just remember to set the sharing settings to "Anyone with the link" so students can access).

3) From Mark P:
I found this online version of Jeopardy. You don't have to register (in fact if you do, you'll have to pay $$) and it stays online so you can access it anywhere. Quick and easy to set up and even helps you keep track of team points.

4) Joe G shared this "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire"- type game that a student created for Grammar Fest:

Quia has templates for other types of games, as well. A one-year subscription for teachers is $49- not free, but not too bad.
