Flashcards. Ho hum. Even electronic flashcards. Quizlet made flashcards marginally more exciting with a couple of games, and the ability to print out vocab tests to use in class. Plus, visitors can browse through thousands of sets other have created and copy to their own free accounts.
Enter Quizlet Live... a great way to review vocabulary and terms in a 1:1 classroom. Here's how it works:
- The teacher chooses a set of 12+ terms or questions to use with the session.
- On the Quizlet website, choose Quizlet Live. A code pops up for students to use when logging in at quizlet.live.
- Students type in their real names. Quizlet then places students in teams, based on animal names.
- Then minor chaos ensues while students move about the room, joining their team members, making sure they can see each others' screens.
- 3... 2... 1... GO!
- Students look for terms to match their definitions, which may (or may not) be on their screen, or the screen next to them. Each correct answer earns a point, working up to 12. A wrong answer bumps the team down to ZERO.
When a team wins, you may:
- Review correct and missed terms with the class.
- Play the same quiz again with the same teams.
- Play the same quiz again with the NEW teams, assigned by Quizlet Live.
- Play a new quiz with new teams.
