Quizlet

An application that I found helpful is Quizlet that is beneficial for students and teachers. This is an application that can also be accessed on mobile devices and also online through your user name and your password. This is an application that makes studying easier and can help all the students do well on the upcoming tests and classes for the future. Quizlet is a way that you can make study cards that have all the information that you will need to study for the test that is upcoming. It is also a good way for the students to learn all the information by looking at it and then typing it, then they can use the study cards for 10 minutes a day which can help with knowing the information. Also the teacher can share theirs if they chose, or have the students make their own and possibly make it a grade as a great way in almost forcing your students to make a study tool.

Features to the Application can help students get excited for learning and getting good grades.  Even though this may look and sound like just writing note cards, the upcoming generations are all about technology and incorporating it into the education system, and this is the same way to have the great study technique of memorizing with flash cards.

One thing that is really great about Quizlet is you can share it with a friend and you both can edit and then have a way of studying. This allows the student’s to work with someone else whom is also creating note card and adding to the information that need to be learned. Once you have made the note cards there are so many options that can be done after that. Such as take multiple quizzes from all the information you put into the system, print out cards, play a matching game, the studying tools and techniques after putting all the information in is endless.

This video is a great way to get started if this is a new application that you are not familiar with that can help you get started. 

For the use in my classroom I would be thinking for a middle school type of classroom where Quizlet would be mandatory and a way for the students to get all the information for the upcoming tests/quizzes or in general to study on a daily basis. For my students they would have assignments that could include take a quiz on quizlet for chapter six vocabulary, or make flashcards on quizlet and either print them or show them on your mobile device and the first five min of each class we would review with our note cards. 

This application is one that may seem simple and not useful, but that is incorrect. Thinking outside the box as a teacher in different uses for this app is amazing. This could be an amazing tool for the students who are going to use it to learn and actually know the information instead of studying the night before a test while cramming. This is all for the students and if I were the teacher I would want my students to be studying for at least five minutes a day learning for a future test.
