Quizlet
Quizlet is a great study tool for students. In the article I read, it was about a high school teacher whose students were getting very low scores on her vocabulary tests. She would give the students a worksheet to fill out where they would have to find the definition to the word that she had picked. She would then test them a week later on the exact same words. She realized that none of the students were studying because she was seeing her students get consistently low grades. She then found Quizlet. She then also changed her vocabulary lists to words that would be more relevant to the students. She then made a list of vocabulary words on Quizlet. The teacher liked Quizlet because when she was putting up the list the auto-define feature made it go by very fast. She also liked Quizlet because once you make a list it will always be saved to your account. All you have to do is make sure that your students know your account information so they can look up the lists. The teacher says that ever since she put the vocabulary words on Quizlet the scores have improved dramatically. She knows now that her students are studying at home because they tell her about it. They tell her how they love playing the games to study and that they are even a little addicting. They also tell her how they are even excited to play the games. The teacher says that now she can go over the vocabulary list in 15 minutes and not talk about it again because she knows the students are going to go over it at home. She says that now she has a lot more time in class to go over new things.
