Quizlet

Quizlet is a digital flashcard website. It is useful for students to learn vocabulary and testing terms. It is not required for students to have an account to use quizlet. Students must be 13 to create an account without parent permission. Students really enjoy competing with the teacher. I am not smarter than an 8th grader.

You can find Quizlets by Mrs. GRU by searching users for hgruenthal.

There are several different modules/tiles to work with:

Flashcards: Use your keyboard arrows or click on the arrows/card onscreen to flip or advance cards. You an also press play to have the cards automatically flip and advance but that may be too fast or slow for your students. Give them the option. Cards can also be read by the computer for auditory learners but it is recommended that students only use this feature if they have their own earbuds/headphones.

Learn: gives the definition and students type in the answer. If you miss the answer or spell it wron, it gives you the correct answer.

Spell: requires audio. The computer reads the term and you spell it.

Test: Quizlet creates a multiple choice exam based on your flash cards

Play Games

Match: Drag and drop the term to it's definition to make them all disappear. Try to beat your own best time, or compete against other student who have saved their scores.

Gravity: Type in the answer before the asteroid destroys your planet. Make sure to edit the preferences to show the definition first (change from term) otherwise it is impossible to type in the exact definitions.

Quizlet Live is similar to Kahoot

I like to use Kahoot for Quizzing on the flashcards. The students have more fun with it. The disadvantage is that you must make up your own questions and answers. Here is a Learning Target for pairing Quizlet/Kahoot.
