types of quizzes already made, you can explore and try out.

I would use Quiz
Classroom in my classroom to help me produce quizzes in my classroom. I really
like this website because it is easy to use and anyone can use it. There are
premade quizzes that can be used but you can also create your own based on your
own subject. I also like the idea of how you can embed this into your blogger
for others to see and use as a reference. Quiz Classroom will make the lives of
teachers and even students a little easier when a quiz needs to be created. I
would use this in my classroom a lot and also make it available for my students
as well.

7. Also

8. Can

9. Disadvantage-
takes you to different sites where you find the info. Could be a problem when
trying to remember where it came from and opening many pages brings you to a
new site, where could get side tracked again on new ideas.
I found Game Classroom a very fun and
entertaining place for teachers to go and find different ideas based on certain
subjects. I really like this website because I am the type of person that wants
my classroom to be fun and entertaining. So having game to help teach a certain
subject is a great idea to me. I also like how there are games for different
grades, subjects and times of the year. I would use this as much as I can in my
classroom. I think having games in cooperated in the classroom is a fun and
effective way of learning. I also like how there are weekly newsletters that
can be sent to teachers pertaining new and updated information on what others
like and have used before. I could also use this in my classroom because it
gives you lesson plans on different topics and along with that is the standards
that go with it, so to me this is very helpful. This would be less work that I
would have to do as a teacher.

being shown the steps there are descriptions of what can be done within the
stages.

are also layouts for you to use to get you started or you can start from
scratch.
8. After
the book is finished you can publish it and give it as a gift.
9. Disadvantage
is you have to create an account to access certain materials and
advantages.
I found Story
Jumper a great website to use for teachers and for students as well. I really
like this website because as a teacher you can do many lessons based just by
using this website. I also really like this website because it takes you step
by step in how to make the story. I know in my classroom I would use this after
reading a book or even doing a lesson. I would have them either retell the
story or make up their own version using this application. Another idea I would
do is have them make their own stories for special holidays to present to their
parents like mother’s day or grandparents days. After doing this activity I
feel that my students would be inspired to use this outside of classroom.
