A useful tool that I just discovered this semester is Quizlet, an online flashcard site. This website is particularly useful if you are studying vocabulary words or other concrete concepts that are easily defined. It’s easy to use and pretty basic in it’s concept, but I’ve been impressed with the variety of things you can do on the site.
Typing in all of your words and definitions can be tedious, but there is a way to import the data quickly if you have it formatted right. After that is complete, you can study your terms in traditional flashcard form, choosing to see the term, definition, or both. Quizlet will allow you to mark any card you wish to study separately, and for the auditory learners out there, there is an option to have the cards read aloud to you. The site lets you easily see which terms you have missed the most, as well as those with the highest accuracy.
In addition, there are options that allow you to see questions in written, true/false, matching, or multiple choice form. Once you’re feeling confident, you can play Scatter (a matching game) or Space Race, where definitions scroll across the screen and you must type the correct answer to “kill” them before they reach the other end.
Quizlet also has the option of printing off flashcards or study sheets, and you can share the set with your classmates with a few clicks.
The Networking group has compiled the research we each did individually over the past couple weeks about WordPress, Connectivism, BuddyPress, and CommentPress. We went over a couple things that are relevant to what we did today, but plan on discussing the rest of it next time. We also created an email address (DigitalGenseo@gmail.com) which we plan on using to communicate with other professors and students about using their blogs. Using the email, we created our own WordPress.com blog. We plan on using this to post our manual about how to use a blog as well as other helpful how-to’s.
