Quizlet can be found on www.quizlet.com. Quizlet is a website where people can use digital flashcards. On this site users can create their own flashcards. They can study these flashcards and share these flashcards with others as well. There are a variety of flashcards that are already on the website. Users can access and use many of these flashcards. To create a set of flashcards, a user simply has to type in the list of words and their meanings. Once the flashcards are created, it is very simple to practice with them. There are several ways to practice the words. There is an area to practice with the flashcard in the traditional fashion. There is an area where the words are learned. There is also an area where the words are tested. One of the most interesting sections of the website is the games section. There are two games that can be played with the words that created the flashcards. In one of these games the definition and the word must be matched in the quickest amount of time. In the other game, the definition scrolls across the screen. The user must type in the correct word before the word falls off of the screen. Users advance to other levels as the game continues.
I have used Quizlet with my students this year. They all really enjoyed the different areas of the website that they could use to study their vocabulary. For this first time that I used Quizlet, I created the flashcards for my students. In the future, I am hoping that my students will create their own flashcards so they can practice on their own.
