Studying with Quizlet

Remember the days of learning new vocabulary words by tediously writing them all out? Well, those days are gone! Using the new web 2.0 Tool Quizlet, learning new vocab and other subjects will be a breeze. This interesting program allows teachers, and students, to create their own study tools. For instance, vocabulary words just need to be typed into a box and the program will give you different definition options to choose from. If this is too complex student could go on a google quest to find the different definitions to different words. Next, the program creates different study tools for students to utilize. There are flashcards, quizzes, and a variety of different educational games. I would personally use this for 4^th-8^th, and maybe even high school. The samples provided are screen shots of the program’s activities. You can access my set of Algebra tools here!

 

These are sample flashcards of this set.

I really did love this site. I do think that it is a little too complex for younger grades unless you really simplify it. For example, if you purchase the membership to Quizlet you can add photos to your set and I think it would be a great idea to set up color/picture word matches for students to practice word recognition. With this site it is important to set it up and then let students explore!
