Web 2.0 Websites

I like the Penzu website and the Quizlet website.

Penzu is a site that allows you to make your own journal. This journal can be used in the classroom for daily bell work when the students are given journal writing assignments. There is an option once they finish their journal entry to print and this would be an option if the teacher wants the assignment turned in that morning. If the assignment doesn't need to be turned in right then, it will be saved in the students journal and can be pulled up at a later date. All journal assignments for the whole year can be kept in this online journal. I think this is a wonderful way to keep the students interested and it also helps to organize their work.

The other site I like is the Quizlet website. This site allows you to make your own flashcards for study purposes. This can be used in the classroom, as well as at home. The teacher can have pre-made cards ready on the site and use this as an incentive for the students once they finish their work. The students would enjoy making their own flashcards as well. This is a great way to keep students interested and also keep up with technology. These can also be printed to be kept as a paper form and used in the classroom.
