Web 2.0 sites Teachers Should Know About

The first website I chose was Create-A-Graph.  This website offers students tools to create free graphs (bar graphs, line graphs, etc.)  It also offered a great deal of other useful tools.  Students can take a quiz on their grade level and see how they compare to other students around the nation.  Students can also test probability, take other quizzes (such as a College mascot matching quiz), and even search for a college.  As a future elementary math teacher, this could greatly come in handy. This offers a fun way for students to explore graphs and probability.

The second website I chose was SurveyMonkey.  SurveyMonkey allows you to create free surveys and quizzes to take and share.  This could be used in a lesson on statistics, or simply just to have students take quizzes on the computer.  Students would enjoy to take these short quizzes, and the teacher can ask questions based on what has been covered in the class.  Surveys/quizzes are very simple to make on this website.
