The three tools are:
http://superteachertools.com
http://jeopardylabs.com
http://www.kubbu.com/
So what are these tools and how are they useful for teachers?
Superteachertools: This is a great site for teachers. From this site, teachers can create online review games such as Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Jeopardy, Board Game Review and Speed Match. All teachers have to do is click on the game they want to create and type their questions and answers and then click on the “create game” button. Once teachers click on the “create game” button, teachers are given a url for their game. Students do not need to create a user name or password. All they need is the url. (So after you make the game, make sure you save the url).
Jeopardylabs: Who needs powerpoint to create a jeopardy review game? That’s the thought process the creator of this website had. With this site, teachers simply input their information for their game and then are given a url. No registration, or login is required by teachers or students!
Kubbu: This is another site that lets you create online review games, as well as quizzes for your students. Teacher registration is required to create review games and quizzes, however the teacher has the choice whether the activities they create are anonymous (meaning all the students need is the url to do the activity) or whether they want their students to have a student account. With a student account, student information is tracked and analysis reports are sent to the teacher.
