Jeopardy

Jeopardy is a game that can integrate the whole class together. It is fun and students will be motivated by this game. We can use this game in the class to motivate our students to learn and review the content that they have learned.

Prezi


Prezi has a similar function as Powerpoint, however, it look much prettier and you are able to share your presentation online. This tool is good for both teacher and student. We can use it to teach, students can use it to present. Overall I think this is a pretty cool tool, because of the functionality that it jumps from one page to another, and the animation of the transition is what Powerpoint does not support.

Webrequest

Webrequest is a website that you can create a task for your students. This website is very useful for delivering a task or homework to students. They will have to follow the instruction in order to accomplish their job. The grading criteria can also be shown clearly in the website which is good for students to check their work before submitting it.

Lyrics training is a website which we can have a music video playing while we have to type down the words that are missing in the scripts for the lyrics. This website is good for listening practice. It can also integrate the whole class because it is a fun activity and students will love it.

Puzzle maker

Puzzle maker is a website where you can make different puzzles and print them out for educational use. You can make a word puzzle such as word search, cross word, a maze etc.
This website and the material it can make is very useful for educators to prepare their lesson. The overall review on this page is good, because the website is user friendly and the tool itself is useful educational-wise.

Quandarygame


Quadarygame is a website where students can go on and play games that requires problem solving skill. This website will help the student to practice their English reading skill and their problem solving skill.
Overall, I think this website is pretty attractive to students because the graphics it has is so cool to kids and they will love to play games during a class. If a student is enjoying the game, he is already unconsciously practicing his reading skill.
