Okay, I could spend forever looking at these tools, but I only have until Friday, so I looked at Knowtes because my daughter is always making note cards to study. At first, I thought I would just explore it and pass it on to her, but then, the more I played around with it, the more I thought I could use this myself. I quickly developed 7 cards about the type of things I present to students when I am giving them a library orientation. Evaluting a web page is the title I gave to my cards. I made them true false and it would be a neat thing to use during a presentation since students seem to need to see something in front of them. I really think I could make this into a neat learning tool. I will need to explore the site more and actually read some of the information on how to use the site. I was intuitively able to make the cards but then trying to get to them to study was a little trickier and the part that I would need to practice with. So, it seemed to work okay, if you know what you are doing. Students would need an email if they were going to use this, but it looks like a neat way to make note cards for yourself. I am not sure if I would trust someone else's note cards to study from because I can not evaluate their reliability (hey, that's what I am teaching my students, evaluate where the information is coming from, a student? a teacher? some one who has access to a computer and posts anything?)
I will pass this site on to my daughter, once I figure out more how to use it. (She says she is not tech savvy because she can't program the DVR, but yet she has learned how to download something onto her MP3 player so she might be able to figure this out faster then me.)
