Jottit : a new collaborative space for your students

Jottit is another great web2.0 tool that is similar to Entri and which i have known about from B’s Life with English. It allows its users to create pages and posts just as if they are creating their own posts . These pages can be edited and shared with other people .I think you need to give this website a shot to see how marvelous it is .

Some features of Jottit

Jottit is a very handy and “ smart” web2.0 application that is :
  • Completely free
  • does not require any sign up
  • It allows you to create a web page in a matter of seconds
  • it has a sophisticated set of authoring tools
  • It allows you to customize the look of your page the way you want
  • It also lets you add videos and other multimedia tools to  your page
  • You can create as many pages as you want
  • You can finally share your page with the rest of the world .

How can i get started using Jottit ?

Log on to Jottit main page

and write your posts and click on “ create a page”
you will be directed to the page where you can edit what you have previously written by clicking on edit .
If you don't like the design then click on “ design “ to change the color and the fonts

setting is where you can add
  • title

Applications of Jottit in education

Jottit is a very practical tool that we can use in our teaching . We can , for example , use it to share educative YouTube videos with our students . You can also use it to collaborate with your colleagues . Students , on their parts, can use it to work on  a classroom project with each one contributing to the page before they share it with the rest of the class.
That’s it about Jottit : a new collaborative space for your students .
