The site I am reporting on is called quizlet.com. It is a tool for vocabulary review, practice, and testing.The main target audience for this site would be high school age kids, and they would use it in class and at home. It is not blocked by the Knox county internet system, and I can and do use it everyday in my classroom, because I think the kids should review everyday. There is no guarantee that they will on their own, so I do it for them everyday.
This site obviously helps us directly address content that is being taught everyday, because we are able to review vocabulary from each chapter using the site. You can go in and put in the words that are necessary for each chapter and then mix them up to review. I say the words out loud to the students, then they repeat them back to me, I say a sentence in German that involves the words, and then we go over the definitions together. The students can use this tool on their own computers or on the IWB (interactive white board) in class.
You can sign in with an account, but i allow the students to just access it using my mentor teachers username: jrowe3737. With that, they can look at everything that we have put up. They only downside of the website is that it only has a few options when it comes to testing the students, so I usually create my own quizzes using the vocabulary words.
