I believe online surveys and tests that evaluate a student's understanding of a concept are very useful. When teachers gives online practice tests to see where the class is at in understanding and what topics need improvement on, it is a great way to see what topics need to be covered more in depth. As a student I used to like when my teachers gave me online practice quizzes that gave us the correct answer/explanations when we got a problem wrong. It was a great way to gauge my understanding of the course materials and a way to see what I need to improve on.
I definitely think as a teacher I will be able to create quizzes to see what my students need to improve on. Aside from using Word to create my own quizzes, there are many websites and forums that allow teachers to create their own quizzes, or use quizzes already created on the chosen subject. I think it'd be important to stay current on what websites are useful to other teachers and keep in mind the opinions of my students.
One technology that I recently heard of and thought was neat was a website called Glogster. It is a website used for presentations with a lot of information. There are tons of different borders, stickers, and other themed animations to add to the presentation and make it visually appealing. Students are able to add links, videos, and pictures to help enhance to the presentation as well.
