Good Morning Everyone,

Today I wanted to share a great website and service. It is called Quizlet. Think of quizlet as this large user generated study group. All subjects have study aides from games to flash cards that students create and can share with other students. On top of that teachers can create and share as well. Students can build a study guide and then instead of having the traditional flashcard set up can actually play games like space race or scatter. Space race for example is a learning tool that scrolls the question from side to side of your computer screen. In order to "shoot" the question down you have to answer it correctly. Once you answer it correctly you are awarded points. For an intro into economics night class (mostly of adult learners) I had students truly enjoying competing against eachother for the high score. The results from that exam, were the highest class average i've experinced for those three particular chapters in the two years I taught the course. While overwhelming at first I would take some time and really play around with quizlet, I think you'll find it as great as I do.

Some information from their website:

How Quizlet works

Quizlet has no pre-determined curriculum. Students define what they need to learn, and we provide the tools. We help Art History majors learn paintings, Spanish students learn their verbs, 5th graders learn their spelling words, and new waiters learn the menus of their restaurants. Our aim is to build software that any learner can use, so we make most of our stuff free.

The Quizlet story

Quizlet was founded in 2005 by 15-year-old Andrew Sutherland for a high-school French class. He wanted an easy-to-use tool for learning vocabulary. He built Quizlet for himself, shared it with his friends, and it grew from there.
Quizlet is now among the largest educational websites in the world. Millions of teachers and students from every country in the world use Quizlet. Because our website is free, we see no limit to the number of people who could use it.
Quizlet is headquartered in downtown San Francisco, California.
