Studyhive.com

A student/future teacher introduced me to Studyhive.com. The future teacher discovered it while looking for a more efficient and effective way to study for a biology test. The future teacher is motivated by the task of learning (see Daniel Pink's book, Drive) more than the grade. In the past this future teacher has been my “lab rat” when I wanted to test out new technology. This time I am the “lab rat” and I could not be happier.
The future teacher is teaching both students and teachers about Studyhive.com and I am building my first project. I use Flocabulary to teach vocabulary to my reading class. Using Studyhive.com, I am in the process of building stacks of vocabulary cards. The stacks can be used in the traditional way of flash cards, practice tests and assessments. If you want to check out my project, join Studyhive.com for free and look for the Broeg tag.
