Classtools: Create free educational games, quizzes, activities and diagrams in seconds! Host them on your own blog, website or intranet! No signup, no passwords, no charge! You can turn your classroom to the 21 Century by implementing one tool at time. I don’t recommend that you take on more than that because you will become quickly overwhelmed. One of my favorite Web 2.0 tools is Classtools.net. Classtools has many games and graphic organizers that can have a multitude of uses. Students will have challenging tasks but have fun while doing it. I use Arcade Generator the most. At the end of each chapter of the history text book, are comprehension check questions. Mostly these questions require one or two word answers. The students get the opportunity to shoot down the jelly bean with the correct answer on it. Playing the game with the students fosters competition. I mean it gets pretty intense in the classroom. It’s all in good fun and the students are learning the questions from the chapter. What better way to study. Thats not all at Classtools. There is a variety of graphic organizers that keeps the instruction fun. Weather your lesson is a reading assignment or learning the parts of speech using classtools will put back the fun in learning. Classtools makes it fun and easy to place your quizz, game, or diagram in your class website. I use Edu20.org. After creating your work, click on the gear at the bottom of the page and an embed code comes up. Copy the entire embed code and place it back in your website. Students can click where you placed the embed code and play the game right in their website. No need for students to learn a new link each time you create a work. They log into their lesson on your website and play until they have confidence of understanding the objective. Using Classtools in yet another way for a teacher to bring her room into the 21st Century without learning a new computer program or spending large sums of money.
