Quizlet.com - Virtual Flashcards!

I really love this site. First, the set up is easy for me (selfish, I know...). Hey, we all know that time is not something that we have to spare. I love the fact that I can simply upload words and definitions that I have in a spreadsheet and I do not need to retype in words and definitions! Also, for those visual and auditory learners out there, There is a speaker that students can click on that will read all text aloud to them (YEAH!). Finally, there is an opportunity to add pictures to your flashcards for a visual representation of the word or concept on the flashcard. Once the flashcards are made, I can simply send my students the link and they can flip through them in various forms (word and definition on one side, word on one side and flip the card over for the definition) In addition to flipping through the flashcards, there are games that can be played. My personal favorite is Scatter. It is a drag-n-drop matching game. The other game that is offered is space race. It is also fun. However, there is a bit more pressure put on the student. They are required to type in the word that matches the definition that is passing by. If a student has time anxiety or limited typing skills, this would not be recommended. Oh gosh, after watching this video, there is so much more to Quizlet than I have even checked out. Enjoy and I would love to hear how you are using it!
