Online Review Creation Tools

With semester one coming to a close and finals looming next week, teachers are looking for different ways to create online reviews for students.  There are a number of online tools that let teachers create games or different review formats that students can use to study class content.  Many of the tools have existing quizzes or games created by other teachers that you can tap into and use.  In this blog, I'm only going to look at three of the ones my teachers like and use the most.  Hopefully utilizing one or more of these tools will help you in finding different and engaging ways for students to review your classroom content.

Quizlet
Quizlet is an online tool that allows you to create a review set with matching terms and answers, in a variety of languages.  You can also add images and choose privacy settings to make your reviews public, or only to your classes or specific people.  When students go to complete the review, they have a variety of options for how the content is presented, including flashcards, spelling, taking it as a test, a learning mode, as well as scatter or space race games.  It works well for allowing students to review material on their own, and there are many publicly created sets already made that teachers can access and use.  See the links below for more information and help.

Kahoot
I just did a recent post devoted solely to Kahoot, but I focused on using it as a formative assessment tool real-time in the classroom. However, Kahoot can also be used as a review tool because students can sign up for accounts and create their own Kahoots, and them make them public and use them to review together.  Having students create their own Kahoots is a great way to assess whether they understand the classroom material.  See the links below for more information and help.

Purpose Games
Purpose Games is a web site for learning and having fun at the same time.  Like the other tools, you can create your own games or use ones created by others.  You can create games or quizzes, and make playlists of your favorite games.  The games involve using images and having students identify different parts or areas on an image, or teachers can create standard multiple choice quizzes.  Teachers can also create groups, which makes managing and providing reviews for students easier.  Click on the links below to get started!
