Class Tools: Create Interactive Games and More!

One of the coolest discoveries yet: ClassTools.net.  This site lets you create interactive, arcade style games and diagrams in minutes!  No sign-up is required, and all tools can be embedded into websites for classroom use.  The site also includes samples and video tutorials to aid in creation.


Some of my favorite tools include Fakebook and Plagiarizr.  Fakebook is an educational tool for making fake Facebook pages.  Right away I'm thinking about how fun this would be to use with students doing biography projects or research on historical figures.  I also love Plagiarizr.  Simply place suspicious text into the text area, hit submit, and wait for an analysis.  So easy!

Jeopardy Labs: Easy Online Jeopardy Creator

We all enjoy playing a good Jeopardy game with our students once in awhile.  I just discovered a website that makes it so much easier.  Jeopardy Labs is a fun way to create your own online Jeopardy game.  You can create your own games for free with no account set-up required.  (You can enter a password if you want the option of modifying your game later).  Once you enter your game information, a unique URL is created, giving you the ability to link it to your own website.  What a great tool for SMARTboards as well.
