How 2 start your first web 2.0 class project

It is easy to be overwhelmed by the variety of web 2.0 tools out there, and even easier to become terrified by what looks like a very complicated and potentially hazardous frontier undertaking.

So why not stand on the shoulders of pioneers?




This is a FREE e-book with dozens and dozens of classroom-tested ideas. Pick one! Try it tomorrow!

How 2 Memorize Things

HeadMagnet

I just came across this site. Haven't played with it much, but it has way better features than any other computer-based flashcard game I've ever seen.
  • lots of customization possibilities
  • uses pictures and words
  • saves lists for later
  • ANALYZES YOUR PERFORMANCE (wow)
  • keeps track of things you miss and makes you practice them more often (wow)
  • share lists with others (wow)
  • free (always good)
Clearly there are a lot of opportunities for teachers. Personally, I think I'll make use of the names-and-faces template the next time I start a new activity....maybe I will finally rid myself of the embarrasing hole in my head where names fall out!

how 2 be inspired...

two videos - both express a lot of what gets me out of bed and to work every day.



how 2 make a bibliography

www.bibme.com

SO many hours of my life lost to bibliography creation and searching for sources!!!!

This website is free, but you do need to register for an account if you want to save work and come back to it later. If you have all of your information at one time, you do not even need to log in.

BibMe will create a bibliography from very little information about your sources - it uses amazon.com and other resources to pull all of the pertinent information about publishers, copyright date, multiple authors etc. You just supply a title, partial title or even just keywords and choose your resource from a list.

(this means that you can use BibMe to locate sources that will be useful to your research as well - pretty cool, huh?)



As you see from this screenshot, BibMe can handle a variety of types of resources. Once everything is entered, you can print directly in a number of formats (APA, MLA, etc.) or your can copy and paste the resulting page into your final document.
