This easy to understand online tool allows you or your students to enter vocabulary terms and definitions to create electronic flashcards and quizzes to enhance word study in any language or a content area. Students may choose to create electronic tests, or the networking page allows them to interact and learn with other users who have the same words. Teacher or students can create groups to share word lists. As wonderful this technology is, the coolest thing about Quizlet might be in its history--its creator is presently a high school senior (2007-2008) who tells his inspiring story and shares his blog through links at his site. See a sample matching activity about TeachersFirst created by our editors to show a variation on using this online tool for simple words/definitions.

In the Classroom
Membership asks for an email, but our editors discovered that a "pretend" email address also works. Email allows you to notify others that you want to share a word list or activity with them, however. If your school does not permit student email accounts, use a mythical account and KEEP A LIST of students usernames (non identifying) and passwords. They WILL forget them!Explore, follow directions, or watch the (SLOW to download) demo to get the idea of how the site works. Save your "sets" and decide whether you want them to be completely public, just for you personally, or shared with a "group." Create your own groups for each class or subject. Be sure to note the fact that you can upload vocabulary lists by copy/pasting from various formats--- a real time saver!
How to use this? Content and English teachers may set up their personal network of users. Learning support teachers will want their students to create their own quizlet sets and help learn them in the process! Teachers may create your own sets of words, or let students do the work for themselves and each other. Use the interactive white board for quick flashcard or electronic testing using your sets. Foreign language and ESL/ELL teachers will find many word sets already built and ready to use at this site. Helping students study for the SAT vocabulary test? Check out the QuizMarklet feature that is explained in the blog section. QuickTime is needed to view the 'how-to-use' video (SLOW to load!!!). If you team teach with others at your grade level, take turns making the online Quizlets to accompany your science or social studies chapters. Be SURE to share this tool on your teacher web page for students to use at home.
