CEDU 525 Week 2

The class session for the week of December before Christmas was an interesting one. The work that we did on quizzes that we did were an interesting snapshot on some of the information that's out there. Tickle was perhaps the most interesting. Having looked through all of the personal quiz sites, I'm not fully sure of all of the sites relevance to teaching. Most of them seemed more for fun and not always academic in nature. The teacher created quiz sites became some of my favorites. Great application for quizlet, quizlab and Class Marker specifically. Lots of potential for any lesson.

The individual assignment from week #2 was a good one. While the web assignment was very time consuming it was well worth it. Simply put, you benefit from the time you put into something like that. I will use these ten web sites in my current social studies unit on the Midwest. I'm looking forward to sharing the results.

I agree with the your statement regarding the interactive quiz sites relevance to teaching. After looking at these sites I thought that it could maybe be used as a workshop in a specific subject. But yes, more for fun. Also, the quiz making sites are absolutely helpful in planning a lesson.

I agree - it took time to find good sites - but once found they are invaluable.
