Alright! So today I would like to share about Quizlet. It was created in 2005, by a high-school sophomore. Quizlet is a wonderful tool for creating study sets. Using Quizlet, teachers are able to create online flashcards; from this information, Quizlet helps generate interactive flashcards, games, and quizzes for your students. Students can access this information, using a computer, or by creating an account and uploading the app to their phones. Even if you don’t create your own study guides, students can access millions of other study sets.
Having an account as a teacher, you are able to give your students an interactive tool for studying, which can go anywhere. No need for paper flashcard; however your students can print flashcards, if they prefer to do so. So far everything I have talked about is free which is wonderful. If you upgrade for a small fee, you are also able to follow student progress, and incorporate voice recordings and pictures in your guides.
I like this Technology because it allows students to study in an interactive way. This helps kids to form good study habits; which is something many of us have difficulty with. Students, who choose to create an account, are able to follow their own progress, and see what they need to study more. You can also choose to let students see the high score in games, which can motivate students to practice more. Quizlet is a wonderful tool, which used in addition to regular lessons, would help in supporting my future student on their road to success.
Below is a 12 minute video on Quizlet and how to use it; it is a little long I know, but very well put together.

Quizlet is catching on! Another classmate discovered it as well this week!
ReplyDeleteI like how you are thinking about the features of the upgrade. I do wonder if the upgrade would be worth it to track student progress. It would give you a better sense of how kids are preparing and where they are struggling.
