Quizlet

Filed Under General 

I’m fast becoming a fan of a little site called Quizlet. Quizlet lets you create virtual flashcards which I initially thought was a complete waste of time.

However, I have more than one student that loses his or her review sheets. This means they get home and tell mom or dad they have nothing to study from. A virtual set of flash cards certainly helps out with this. All I have to do is tell the parents where they can find my virtual flash cards and the problem is over.
I’m discovering there’s a few games that can be played with the flash cards sets I created,  but they’re problematic. Flash cards obviously have very specific definitions, and computers don’t understand if you’re close but have slightly different wording.

Even so, I like this tool and expect I’ll keep using it. It gives even my most disorganized student immediate feedback as to whether they know some of the material or not.
