Thing 17

I chose the aplication KNOWTES which is a flashcard site. I found it to be fairly easy to figure out although I could see how I might have set up the program a little bit differently. I could not figure out how to load pictures from the internet, musical symbols in my case, so I chose to create another deck of cards that used text only. My deck is Music Vocabulary: Dynamics. If students are to use the application correctly you will need to take a session to walk them through how to find your group subscription and how to play the game. That is the part that I did not find to be arranged like I might do it in my own classroom. I would have liked to see more options for font as well. Centering the text is also something that i will need to go back and work on. It did not work like my word processor. I also tried to embed it from the site but it gave me an error message even after logging out "Your HTML cannot be accepted: Tag is not closed:

If I were using this in my personal life I might use it for Bible study. It would also be a great way for parents to help their children do their homework or study for tests. In my classroom I may not need this site as I have a Promethean Board with some very similar tools. Even scratch off cards which the students really enjoy. The positive is that it may be used by students for home study.
