What is Quizlet?

Quizlet is one of the biggest vocabulary and flashcard learning websites on the net. It has flashcards and vocabulary sets for a wide-range of subjects.

This is an excellent teaching tool for recycling, revising and consolidating vocabulary. It can make learning vocabulary fun, interactive and engaging. Teachers can create card sets to use in the classrooms but in addition, these sets can then be accessed by students to use as a revision tool. The possibilities are endless….

10 Key Quizlet Features

1. Flash Cards

A basic flash card is created by having the word (term) on one side of the card and on the other side it has the definition. The user can create sets of different vocabulary and store them on Quizlet. These cards can be revised through a number of features:

2. Write Feature

This feature provides the definition and asks the user to write the term.

3. Spell Feature

The term is read out loud and users must type in the term with the correct spelling.

4. Test Feature

This feature turns the cards into 20 test-type questions (written answer / true or false / multiple choice / matching).

5. Match Feature

Users are presented with a page with terms scattered around it. Users drag terms on top of their associated definitions to remove them from the page and try to clear the page in the fastest time possible.

6. Gravity

This is a fast-paced study game where correct answers prevent asteroids from hitting your planet! Each correct answer gets you one step closer to the next level.

7. Quizlet Live

This feature is an in-class, team-based learning game using mobile phones / laptops. Students work together to correctly match terms and definitions. The first team to match 12 in a row wins!
