I have done it again! I have found the best Web 2.0 tool by far. The site is called classtools.net. Classtools.net provides free, customizable flash templates to embed into blogs, wikis and websites. There is no signup, passwords, and charges. Each template can be saved as a stand-alone html file or as a widget that can be embedded into a blog or wiki - as long as it is non-commercial. However, downloaded html files still need to communicate with the Class Tools server and therefore require a computer to have an Internet connection.
I played around with this site had so much fun. If I enjoyed I am pretty sure my student will to. The student or teacher creates questions for video games there are several choices. There is Manic Miner, Matching Pairs, Canon Ball Fun, and Wordshoot. There is a virtual story where the student or teacher can copy or create an original story then share with the class. For you History teachers, there is a tool for you to make a timeline. This will be useful for marking events in time. For Math, Science, Reading teachers there is a template for a Venn diagram. This will be help with compare and contrast and number sets. During testing or maybe you are having a timed test, this site has you covered. It was a count down time.
This site is filled with tools the aid in the educational process. This is a very user-friendly Web 2.0 tool learner and educators will enjoy.
