Just a couple of quick reasons on why www.yacapaca.com is used in my classroom.

Hardy, I enjoyed your video explaining 'yacapaca', I have not used this Web 2.0 tool, but I will check out the website you provided and keep you informed of my progress if I decide to use this in my classroom.

Hardy,
What a great video. yacapaca sounds like such an interesting website. I'm always looking for new ways to check for fluency and comprehension in my class! I can't wait to check it out, thanks for the tip.

Hardy, How did I know you would have great sites! You rock! I want to be in your class! This sounds like a great site to use for many different things in the classroom. I love that students get instant feedback. I have been working with Reference and Research skills and have not been able to find a good way to assess what I teach - this sounds like the answer. Thanks for the informative video clip.

Hardy another great Video! Although, I am partial to the bugler one myself. Yacapaca is a great site and I love that students create their own "goals" before taking the mini quizzes because it really does create a student driven learning environment. It is even better when they have to decide at the end if they met their own goals. I like that the students can take the online assessments over and over if they choose to, so the focus is on the learning process, not just on the product. I think this is so important because often teachers will just give students an "F" on a test and move on without realizing that obviously the student didn't learn what you wanted them too and never will if you just move on. Overall, this was a great video and another job well done!
