Introduction

Quizlet is free to users and you can create games, flashcards, and search for something to study. Quizlet is a great tool for students and teachers to use for studing. Students can use this site to help them study for exams in any subject area. Teachers can use quizlet to quiz students just before a test, for a unit and final exam review. Teacher and students can create study material within minutes and they can used the resources in the classroom, at home and on dozens of mobile applications. They can share their creation with anyone. The resources can be reused year after year. I chose this site because I wanted to show my students that studing can be fun and effective, using interactive ways and it's can be done at their own pace. Many of the students, I work with have a hard time studing. I believe they lack particular skills in studing when they think something is boring. I hope this site increases their ability to study more. Implementing

I would use quizlet to quiz my students before an exam. I would create games and put them into groups so they can compete against one another when answering questions for a unit review. I can even create flash cards for their final exam. They could go on quizlet and test themselves. Quizlet allows students to retest on questions they missed. Quizlet Speller will alos help study pronounce a word, spell a word and it shows students what letter they missed to get the correct answer. I would used this when giving my students a spelling, term and fill in the blank test. This site will challange my students to think on a higher level.The other cool features is it speaks at least 13 different languages. Quizlet gives examples and step by step instruction on how to naviagate through their program. It has several links telling you about their powerful features. The most important thing I noticed on this site is students can used it while in college and prepared for some of their state standardized test. I chose this additional site because it is aligned with most state standards. I know so many students struggle in Math. This site could be very helpful tool to your district because it shows you the skills student should have learned per grade level, if they are lacking these skills you could have them practice those skills for remediation.

I am a math teacher and think Quizlet would be a great Web 2.0 site for my students. There are so many students who could truly benefit from extra practice. There are also a lot of parents who would be so happy their child had more study tools available. Thanks for introducing me to this site! (Megan)

This website will be very handy for my classroom. I'm always asking students to bring note cards or cutting paper for them to create flash cards for test review; now, they'll be able to create them online. In addition to the flash cards I'll be able to extend the learning/review because they can also create games and locate other study tools.

I believe that Quizlet will be a great tool for me to use once I become a teacher. The ability to create games that would help my students study will be nice because I believe that students study better when they can be involved in a game situation. Also, it will be nice to create flashcards online so students will not forget their paper flashcards at home or lose them in their lockers. -Josh Boyd-

I am shocked by the amount of students who have little to no study skills! I think this would be an excellent tool to use during after school help sessions. Often times there are more students in a help session than I have in a normal classroom. Students stay after to work on a variety of classwork; however, I try to help them regardless of the subject area. This proves extremely difficult with twenty or more kids in the room. Perhaps if they have an engaging way to study, they will be able to hone some of these skills while I am working with other students.
