Mother-in-laws can be useful sometimes. Mine has just brought an ipod 80mgb classic. While on holiday i had a play around with it and noticed you can play quizes on them. I now this is not brand new, but it was something i had not seen before. So i thought ‘how could this work in the classroom?’
I had a look into it and found some really interesting sites. http://www.iquizr.com/ is a free webbased quiz maker which looks interesting to use, and i am going to check it out with students when i get back to school.
It is easy to use, and quick to make the quiz up. Here is an example i did in minutes http://iquizr.com/quiz/465 (not great, but gives an idea). The files are downloaded as zip files, then to get them on the ipod the students need to have iquiz on their ipod, which they can download from the itunes store for $0.99. Cheap as chips!!
