Kubbu and Classtools

I originally started this blog as part of an education class and did not think I would ever expand on it. However, I have decided to keep posting about Web 2.0 tools that I have found useful and wish to share with others. Two sites that I recently discovered were Kubbu.com and Classtools.net. Kubbu is a site which has a free teacher account and allows you to make matching, crossword and other activities that students can access via the net. I think this has great potential as a review tool. Students can either log on as individuals where their progress and statistics can be monitored or the teacher can create anonymous groups where the students can access the materials without being tracked.

Classtools.net allows you to create interactive fun games, among other things, that you can embed in a website or blog and students can access via the web. Again, this would be a great tool for review or learning purposes. I plan on using both of these with an educational project that I am working on and I will post links here and on an educational website that I am currently developing. Hopefully, someone will find these as useful as I did and if anyone knows of other sites where teachers can create their own interactive materials, please comment here.
