Quizlet offers free accounts for students and teachers. This is a great way to create study sets for vocabulary, very similar to flashcards. However, Quizlet goes a step further and offers testing mode, matching, spelling, writing, and a game mode called Gravity. Teachers can also use Live mode for a friendly competition in the classroom where students work together in small groups. Students can create their own study sets and share the links with other students and teachers whether they are in the same building or across the country as Quizlet contains 18 different languages.
Sample Quizlet for Functions (8th grade or Math 1)
You will notice that you can also add images for multiple learning styles and practice problems with answers. It is not just for vocabulary!
Sample Diagram Set for Parts of Coordinate Plane
You can upload an image and have students label or define parts.
EDpuzzle is a web based platform that teachers can use to take videos that they find on various platforms like YouTube, LearnZillion, Khan Academy, etc and make them their own. You are able to pick a video that meets your needs for the content you are covering, trim the video to focus on your class needs and to keep student attention, voice over so that the concepts are delivered the way you want, and then insert questions along the way to access student understanding. You are also able to restrict the videos so that students are not able to fast-forward through the content.
This program allows you to set-up classes and assign a lesson to students where data from the questions can be used as a formative assessment.
"Every student has a voice, so let’s amplify! Students record short, authentic videos and can reply to each other’s videos. Educators are 100% in control with video moderation, access controls, and much more. Let your students’ creativity flourish with the powerful, easy-to-use recording tools. Students can capture widescreen videos, pause while recording, add more after reviewing, and trim to perfect. From 15 seconds to 5 minutes, your students can perfect the elevator pitch or give a short presentation" (FlipGrid.com, 2019).
