Quizlet

Tonight we have been using an online tool called Quizlet, which allows the quick set up of resources for students.

I put together 20 flash cards with training principle terms on them, and found that once the resource is created it can be used in a number of different ways, such as a test, a spelling resource, or a couple of different games.

The brilliance in this resource is that it can be used online, or printed off. Therefore, instead of having to animate answers into a powerpoint, for example, you can flick between questions and answers in class with input from all students.

There is also a bank of resources 'pre-created' by other users that can be accessed, which saves on the time it takes to create your own resources. Once you have created a resource it can be used in a number of different ways, and for introducing a topic or testing knowledge on a topic, but they do take a while to set up initially (depending on how many flash cards etc you make). Therefore, having the option of using resources other people have created is a real time saver!
