ClassTools is a fun web 2.0 tool to create your
own unique flash activities.
There is no registration required, but you can
upgrade to the premium version, which gets
rid of the annoying advertisements.
You can create games for your students and
study materials for yourself.
The site also provides pre-built flash based
templates with which you can create games for
your students and study materials for yourself.
I think it could be a neat tool to use in
elementary and intermediate education.
The more complex games could be used to
build assignments for students.
Things to know before using ClassTools
You really dont need anything other than internet
skills and to know how to embed the information into
a blog. It gives you prompts to save it as a webpage
and gives you the embed code for ease. However,
having an idea of what kind of interactivity you want
for a particular area of study would be great.
Resources required to use

A computer with high

speed internet capability
and a great imagination
are that is needed.
How to use ClassTools in a teaching
environment
I could see using this tool to create games for
students to use on a review day or in spare time for
review at the end of day. I can see the dish-bin
application being used in an elementary education
role as extra work for those students that finish
sooner than others or that might need material
presented in a different way. It can also be used as
a classroom quiz competition.
 There were several applications for organizing
thoughts that could be easily utilized to develop
papers or brainstorming. I thought the hamburger
application was a neat way to section off ideas for
brainstorming. The fish-bone application reminded
me or the map myself application. You start off with
a central idea and branch off. Instead of using tree
branches, the fish uses scales. A nice tool for
brainstorming.
