Study Tools

I picked Quizlet and Word Cloud for my to products.  I have heard of quizlet before from a student who said that they used it to help them study for my class.  I really like the idea of students being able to go on it and study.  It is focused on Vocab, but that is such a big part of understanding science that I think it would be very useful.  I like the ability adjust the definitions to what we used in class and for the students to be able to use other ones to help build their understanding of the terms.  Below is the link for the quizlet that I made on cells and cell organelles.

The second one that I did was Word Cloud.  I think that this would be a good way to introduce a unit and see what vocab the students know before we start and then compare that to the words that know after the unit. 

One other that I think would be good to have the students use is Spicynodes.  I really like having them use graphic organizers to help relate ideas/topics/structures to each other.
