Each activity begins with Khan Academy materials, and then presents students with guided activities to create, express themselves, and experience the richness of new topics and subjects.

Access Quizlet Teacher for free
During the current outbreak of COVID-19, Quizlet’s goal is to support teachers and students in all impacted areas. To help with remote teaching and student engagement while schools are closed, we are providing free access to Quizlet Teacher through June 30, 2020.
Quizlet Teacher includes Class Progress, a formative assessment tool that can help track students' progress. You'll also get access to advanced content creation tools, such as diagrams and audio, which enable you to create custom study materials for your class.
Create, search for or find your favorite set. Once on the set page, select Quizlet Live (it's free to play!). This works best when all students are connected to each other through Zoom, Google meeting or whatever video conferencing or online classroom technology you use, but you can also play without having your class connected (think sending out the join info through Remind).
