Creating A Timetable

   Just thought I would update you with another website that I find useful, and one that I would reccomend. Getrevising has a tool that you can customize so that you can view your weekly timetable online, and you can also print it, so you have a hard copy for yourself. On the timetable you can add classes and also other activities or hobbies that you do in the week. Study time can also be added, which in my opinion is a really helpful tool to plan out the amount of studying that you do in the week, and balance it out with other activities. This helps to motivate me to stick to a study plan, and also stick to deadlines, which can even be added in to the timetable.

Below is an example of what you can create.

Another Useful Online Tool...Animoto!

   Here is another post about an online tool that could assist with revison or would even help teachers present a lesson in class. The website is called Animoto.
   I tried out this website, and put together an example video below.

     

    As you can see, my creation isn't the most artistic/original piece of work. The video took under five minutes to create, using some of the many provided images, and one of the provided themes. You can also add your own videos or pictures to personalise videos, and choose the music that you can use. I think that this site would be more useful in terms of presenting rather than revision, as there is not much text that you can put onto the animation. There is an extensive gallery of videos, themes, music and images that you can use for free in your animoto creation, and choosing these was something that I really enjoyed doing.

   A negative point of this app is that you have to sign up to use the service. The website is free to use, but there is only a limited amount that you can do with it. For example, the length of the video can only be thirty seconds long. This is a downside as some people might want to make a longer video.

   Overall, the website is restricted as to what you can do, but it is useful and the finished creations are very appealing to look at.

Useful Revision Tools With ExamTime

  Just a quick update to show you readers this useful website. If you need a tool for revision, this website is very useful. You can create online mind maps, quizzes, notecards and revision notes. There is even the oppurtunity to embed your creation into your blog. I have used this website myself whilst revising for exams, and I found it very useful. It may even be useful to teachers, they may want to create a quiz for their class, for example.
   Below is an example of what you are able to do on the website.
