Try this!

There is a great website that my AP students love--quizlet.com. All I do is enter in their vocabulary words, and they can go to this site anytime and study. It creates flashcards, has some review games, and even gives practice quizzes. This could be used in a media center by creating lists of words having to do with research and using search engines. Librarians could teach a unit and then ask students to go to quizlet.com for review. It's a great resource!

Today, I'll be using Glogster for the first time in class. www.edu.glogster.com This is a way to create collages online--the website slogan is "poster yourself." I've used it personally before, but never with students. It's a great way to avoid the mess and chaos of old fashion poster collages. It also means we'll be a little kinder to the environment. Hopefully, things go smoothly. I'll update later today about how the students do. I'm certain I'll see some very creative glogs.
