NING.com

ning.com is a great site to create online blog pages for your classes. It allows students to discuss topics in class, ask questions and evaluate their work. My year 10 food technology students are using the NING to evaluate their food technology practical lessons, upload photos and video of their dishes. 

Its a fun and interesting way of evaluating their work, especially for students with different learning abilities. I have students on life skills completing the work and are actively engaged in the task! 

My students complete a series of questions called a  RECIPE REVIEW, these are a series of questions which require them to evaluate and reflect on their practical cooking lesson.

This free website is a great tool to create a quick and effective educational game. It only took me 10 minutes to add the questions and answers and then upload it to my classes. 

The great thing about the jeopardy game is that the question structure is backwards, they are given the answer and must think of the question, therefore teaching students to use their higher order thinking caps. 

Now that my students are familiar with the game I will leave them in charge of creating the questions and adding hem to the game. All I will then have to do is upload the game and lead the game show!
