MAC Week 1 Peer Response

Response 2

WWW.CLASSTOOLS.NET
Why spend hours online searching subject related, interactive games to use in your classroom when you can create them using Classtools.net? This Web2.0 tool allows teachers to develop their own games using pre-designed templates. The basic program is free and has many features. A subscriber can create fun and interactive games students will enjoy playing. 
Once you have registered for an account select the type of game you wish to create, enter the questions and the answers into the required fields and you are done. The program will create the game and the rules for playing automatically.  I think this is a great way to differentiate instruction in your classroom because you write the types of questions you want your students to answer.
I think this will be a great tool to use for my ARP because I can create a post-reading discussion question WORDSHOOT game or vocabulary preview MATCHING game.  Classtools.net also lets you use the same questions to create different types of of games. This is a great timesaving feature.
There are advanced features available for an upgrade fee, but I think with so many free options to explore the basic package may provide more than enough resources for the novice user.
