Kahoot

Kahoot is very similar to Socrative as a free online assessment tool - just that the element of gaming is stronger as the player is given a score based on accuracy and speed. As there are more students who own smart phones nowadays, using Kahoot to do a quick check on understanding with the element of game will definitely engage the students.

It is very easy to create the quiz. Just login to https://create.kahoot.it/










The following screen shoot shows what the students will see on his/her handphone.

Quizlet

I was introduced to Quizlet http://quizlet.com/ by the ICT mentor community. It's quite simple to create and is great to create flash cards. I have used it to create a set of flash cards to better  sec 1 Geography and water resources.
The students can click on the text and it will be read to them. You just have to input the word/image and its definition/meaning or the question and answer once and the whole study set of flash cards, test and games will be generated.

Choose the mode of study by scrolling down the menu at the bottom right hand corner. I love the scatter game and space race - try it out!
