I’ve been mining a wordle of web tools by checking out the sites during commercials.

Quizlet a vocabulary learning tool was created by Andrew Sutherland, a 15-year-old student. He says…

My mission for Quizlet is to make learning vocabulary not a chore. I know a lot of teachers assign vocabulary to students, but few students actually “absorb” words into their vocabularies after they take their test. Which kind of defeats the purpose, right?

It allows teachers or groups to create and learn vocabulary using techniques from computer flashcards (boring) to playing games like space race. One of the lists available  by the now about 18-ear-old Andrew 100 most common SAT words.

Mystudiyo.com lets you create interactive quizzes with images and videos that can be embedded in blogs and websites. They had a competition for educational uses and this image links to the winner.

I just didn’t want to take the time to open Safari and find the activity file and download it. Someday I will figure out how to copy video using firefox, but it won’t be today. I have more applications to track down.
