Quizlet

Quizlet is a website, and an app for both Apple and Android users and can be used in classrooms K-12. This is a tool used for studying and can be used in class, or at home. In a "study set" you can create flashcards for your students with a vocabulary word on one side, and a definition and a picture to go along with it on the other side. The workers at Quizlet have realized that students this generation are really into video games and technology, so they have implemented this into their website as well. You can play games like "Scatter" where you drag the vocabulary word to the definition, or the picture that goes along with it, while competing with other students in the class for the fastest time to finish the vocabulary set. As I would like to become a History teacher, I could use this in my classroom and use the vocabulary side of the flashcard as an event in History, and the definition side as a quick summary of that event. These study sets can be accessed at any time, so if a student needs to study for a vocab test the night before, they can just log on to their Quizlet account and prepare themselves for the next day.
