Hello and welcome to my blog, today I'm going to cover 10 tools that you can use when doing homework assignments or lessons.  As a college student trying to pursue a college degree, you'll need to know some creative ways to complete an assignment. I will share with you different tools that I find unique and simple. Rather you’re a teacher or not I hope it becomes useful and beneficial. 





1.) http://www.equizzer.com/index.php 

 EQuizzer- eQuizzer allows you to create quizzes and test easily. It also allows you to monitor your students' scores. This tool provides a variety of quiz styles such as multiple choices; fill in the blank, true/false, and even short answer. I could use this to make short quizzes online and give them to my students. Also outside of school my students could have access to the quiz and could take advantage of this and quiz themselves for later exams.

2.) Bubblus: Often get brain farts? This website will gather your thoughts. This website save your work and you can print off your bubbles to take anywhere. I would suggest starting the students off on this website first. Its an easy way to have all your ideas in one spot, to get them down quickly, and this website helps it look better. 

3.) http://www.coolmath-games.com/0-magic-pen

 Magic Pen- Magic Pen is an interactive physics app. You are given a red ball and you have to get the ball to the flag. You can draw different objects just to get the ball to the flag. I would use this with my students when we are going over physics concepts. It would help the students get the picture of the different concepts 

4.) http://tuxpaint.org 

Tux Paint: Is strictly for children ages 3 to 12. Tux paint is a very easy application to use. Its fun for the younger students and has sound effects. You get to choose a mascot who guides children as they use the program. Kids are presented with a blank canvas and get to draw with different tools to help them be creative. This could be used in the classroom because shows off the students creativity. 

5.) http://prezi.com 

 Prezi is a free online presentation site. With this site you must have Internet access.  Prezi also allows you to choose a theme, rather its hollowed, Christmas or spring. You can upload pictures and type words. Prezi is a good tool for group or individual presentations on any assignment. Prezi it’s similar to PowerPoint but more detail.  This web tool, you do not need flash drive to save, you go to website, and your work is still there.

6.) https://www.edmodo.com 

  Edmodo is the safest way for teachers to connect with students, parents, and each other. This tool allows students and parents to know their grade in the classroom at all times. Teachers can send alerts, assignments, files, and even links to each other. Edmodo requires that a teacher create an account and then add his or her students to the group so that everything remains private and classes are separated. Teachers can use this tool to communicate with their students and students are also able to communicate with the teacher. This tool can be used as a way to clarify assignments and let the students be aware of the upcoming assignments and homework.

7.) http://photopeach.com

 Photo peach- Photo peach allows you to create PowerPoint. You can add background music to your PowerPoint. It also makes it easier for teachers to manage student accounts. I could use Photo peach in the classroom by having them make a PowerPoint and insert music. They could select a music style just by using Photo peach. 

8.) http://www.easybib.com 

Easy Bib is a ''free'' website that creates citations or bibliographies for you. Students simply type in the correct information and Easy Bib will do the rest. Once your done Easy Bib will allow you to copy the bibliography directly from their website into your word document. Students can use this website to make sure they are correctly citing their documents. Teachers can also use this website to teach their students how important it is not to plagiarize.

9.) http://www.braingle.com/

    

Braingle has fun free puzzles, riddles, so much more. Braingle help prepare the students ready for assignments. This definitely is a fun way to learn. It gets your brain activated for today’s lesson. Braingle has brainteasers that could sometimes get a little confusing. I would use this website in the classroom by helping the students figure out the answers. I would make sure everyone is participating in the different fun games.

10.) http://www.toondoo.com/ 


Toondoo allows users to create comic strips or cartoons. It helps the students to think on their own. It can also show how the students are feeling and show how creative they can actually get. Instead of writing/ drawing the pictures, the students could use today's technology to show their skills. The age group doesn't have to be strictly for elementary; middle school students could use this application as well.
