SkillsWise
Skillswise is such an amazing tool that allows visitors to enhance their English skills. This website gives you the opportunity to practice your reading, writing, grammar and so much more. This is information that we may glance over during instruction, so if you feel you need a more in depth instruction SkillsWise has you covered. If at any point during our time together you feel that you need supplemental support that extends outside of our class time, I highly recommend this resource. This website could be a great tool to use if you are an English Language Learner, as it will allow you to practice your skills and develop more comfortability with the language. |

QUIZLET
Quizlet is an interesting digital interactive tool in the classroom. Often times educators from upon the use of Quizlet as students tend to post answers to quizes or the answers to commonly asked questions could be found on there. Personally, I see quizlet as a great too where you can interactively apply the knowledge you have obtained. As a student you could create your own flashcards to help you study any information we have discussed in the course. You may also refer to quizlets previously made, if there even are any, but I only ask that you think about the answer and if it makes sense. Just because it is on a Quizlet flashcard does not mean that it is correct. With this said, Quizlet is a great tool to help you cement and practice your skills of the course. |
Animoto
This is a tool that I recommend you use when we go over poetry or any sort of text that has plot. Animoto gives its users the ability to create a visual representation of the information that they put in. This interactive tool could be great to use in our classroom to help you visualize the text after we have read it. It will allow you to create what went on in your mind into an actual visual representation, helping you cement the ideas. Often times we confine works to the form they are already placed in (text), so expanding the ways we interpret content will allow us to fully grasp the main points and message of each work. |

Kahoot
Kahoot is an amazing interactive tool that does not limit itself to individual use. Students are able to get together and create a Kahoot that will allow them to test their knowledge on a specific subject. This tool is great for our content area because there are a number of literary terms that must be learned as they will be mentioned multiple times through out instruction. So by being able to recognize the definition at a fast time, you will be ablet o comprehend the information being given. Kahoot is very similar to and can go hand in hand with Quizlet. So one could study flashcards they made with Quizlet and then implement those definitions into a Kahoot game where they can test their freinds aswell. Kahoot is not limited to only definition based questions, as one could include messages about themes, rhyme scheme, plot etc. The oppurtunities are endless and you are bound to have fun interacting with one another and interacting with Kahoot. |
