I listened to the Tech Chick Tips- Sparking their Creativity podcast today. This podcast gave a list of many different websites sources for students to use. The first site that stood out to me was mediacollege.com because it was for students interested in broadcasting and media, and it had tutorial to show how to use certain things on the website. For example, it shows you how to work an iPad, use a camera, apply digital enhancing, etc. This would be a great way to get students to use their media interest and experience to be creative! Webnote.com was the next link talked about and although it is a simple site, I found it to be effective for students who would rather take notes on their computer by typing rather than by writing in a notebook. It allows you to type any notes you want and to bring them up on your computer as a ‘sticky note’. There is no login so other people can add to your notes which could be both beneficial or not. Quizlet.com is a flashcard site with three different modes. The first is familiar mode for students to review the information and use memorization as a study method. The second is learn mode for students to actually quiz themselves and keep track of their score and answers. The third is test mode that gives tests and quizzes in different forms of questions to actually prove your knowledge of the topic. These sites all seemed very helpful and were all free to use!
