I chose to explore Quizlet. What a great way to study vocabulary, create your own flashcards, play games with vocabulary and share with friends! I played a few of the existing games that were already on the website that someone else created. That was neat to see all the different ways people use Quizlet. You can choose by subject and topic, standardized tests, or by foreign language to English translation. It was so neat!
I can really see students practicing their vocabulary using these flashcards, or even matching multiplication facts, or square numbers and their square root. They could also match a verbal description to an equation. The possibilities are endless. Students can even share their flashcards with their classmates and have them try to beat their time in matching them. How neat!
Teachers could even assign a vocabulary list to each of her 30 students in a class, have the students all generate their own flashcards, and by the end the teacher has 30 different flashcard sets generated to share and use all year! Not only can these flashcards be shared, but students and teachers can log in to discuss the flashcards too, bringing another social aspect to the website. There is also a blog attached to the Quizlet website, offering discussion and ideas for uses. Another great and free resource!
