Wax Loquacious with Got Brainy

Have a visual learner who needs help with SAT vocab?  With Got Brainy, students can create flash cards a la all those "inspirational" posters by uploading an appropriate image, then adding the vocab word and typing a sentence to go with it.  Or they can just browse the plethora of cards already created.

There are also video options and a word list with definitions.

 Creating these would also provide a good teachable moment for discussing ethical use of media.



UPDATE:
Cathy Nelson, whose brilliance at teaching students technology I can only aspire to, shared this example of her students' video use of Got Brainy.

A Word a Day

Need to prep for those SAT words? Are you a visual or aural learner? WordAhead provides over 500 vocabulary videos that describe the word and definition, after which an amusing cartoon and story uses the word (and several others!) in context.
