Testmoz - Test Generator

One of the most annoying aspects of a teacher's life is having to check and grade tests. Luckily, there is a free and easy website that can check tests automatically, it's called Testmoz.

No registration is required. Teachers just give their test a name and choose a password. You will then get a URL which you will need to keep somewhere safe as if you lose it you won't be able to share your test with your students. Add questions (there are four types of questions) and publish your test.

Once published, share your test with your students by giving them the URL. Students don't need to register, they only need to put in their names. After students take the test teachers need to click on the admin button and they will see all the students names and their grades including details for each question. Teachers can also export the test results as a CSV file to Excel. Here is a tutorial:

Draggo - Creating a List of Links

Draggo is a simple tool to organize all your links on a single page. I usually use Diigo but the advantage of Draggo is that it's very visual and can be shared easily as a single page.

This is a sample page (thanks to Efrat Matuf from Digital Pedagogy for sharing it with me). Draggo allows you to add categories and lists sites underneath.

Teachers can use it in class when they show sites to their students and it's very easy to get organized and never lose a site. Here is a very simple guide.
