I discovered the "Quizlet Live" feature of quizlet today while exploring different educational technology. Quizlet is a website and an app which helps students learn better by allowing them to create custom flashcard sets. After the sets are created, students can learn a variety of ways, such as timed matching games, fill in the blank exercises, and traditionally reviewing the flashcards in whichever way to user sees fit. This technology is free and helps students learn in a tech-savvy way. Quizlet caters to every learning style, and contains many aids which help cater to those learners with disabilities.
Contrasting the rest of its features, "Quizlet Live" is geared towards teachers. In this feature, teachers create a custom flashcard set for their students. After this is made, there will be an access code used for the students to access the set in class. Once signed in, the kids will compete in teams to answer all of the questions correctly the fastest. This gameshow-style learning exercise is a fun way to build teamwork, communication skills, and the desired content. This future seemed exciting and fun to me, and would work great as a learning aid in K-8 classrooms. Personally, I was unaware of this feature and hope it gains more awareness, as it is a fun and engaging way to ensure the students are learning the material. Overall, I am very excited about this technology and hope it gains more recognition in the future
