Quizlet Live

Students: quizlet.live

One of the newer tools in Quizlet. What does Quizlet Live do?

Build Soft Skills…

Work Together – Students work together to find the term that matches the definition – since none of them have all of the answers.
Enhance Communication – Students lean in, stay focused, and communicate to win. Everyone on the team must contribute.

…and Hard Skills

Reinforce Vocabulary – Students work in small teams to learn a Quizlet study set and race against the rest of their class.
Accuracy Over Speed – Quizlet Live encourages accuracy over speed. If a team matches incorrectly, they have to start over from the beginning.

Click here for the "How to Flipgrid" teacher guide.

Flipgrid is easy to get started. Educators create Grids of short, discussion-style Topics to share with their users. Grids are collections of topics around a common theme. Each Grid can hold an unlimited number of Topics, and each Topic can hold an unlimited number of user-recorded video responses.

Topics are short text or video prompts that can include basic formatting (e.g., bold, italic) and links to websites or documents for critique and feedback opportunities.

Individual response videos can be liked and shared (e.g., Twitter, Facebook) or embedded on blogs, learner management systems, or websites.
