Quizlet

 Chances are, you’ve heard of Quizlet. But--did you know that it’s more than just flash cards?



Not only does it let you make your own flash cards; it gives you different options to learn with those flash cards. 


For studying, here are the options that Quizlet offers:

  • Learn: Quizlet shows you the term or definition (your choice) and you have to type the answer from the other side.

  • Write: Similar to the Learn feature, but it gives you a summary on the left side of the screen that tells you how many you got correct, incorrect, and how many in the set that you still need to study.

  • Spell: This is perfect for ELA students with spelling tests! It gives you an audio autoplay of the term, and you have to spell what you hear.

  • Test: It takes your set of flash cards and formats them into a test. You can choose a variety of question types, including: written, multiple choice, and true/false.


If taking a more active approach is more your style, you might prefer to try one of these features:

  • Match: Quizlet times you as you match term and definition.

  • Gravity: You’re given an options menu before starting, where you can choose what to study (starred vs. the whole set), whether to answer with term or definition, and difficulty. One side of the card is displayed on an asteroid and you have to type the other in the response box before it hits the ground. It gives you a score and level on the left side of the screen to track your progress.


Teachers can also “create a class” within Quizlet, which allows students to access those sets created by the teacher. Quizlet gives more ideas for Quizlet classes at the link below:
