In my reading class every year there are numerous greek and latin roots that the students must learn. This would be a great tool to help in memorizing these roots. I can create cards for the roots that the students need to know, and then they can go in and review the cards and play games. The games provide feedback with a grade for correct or incorrect answers, as well as provide opportunities for the students to beat their previous time.

BP4_Quizlet
Quizlet is a great web tool that allows teachers to have students study in a way that is fun and engaging. This site allows teachers to create flashcards or use already created flashcards for every subject area. Whether your desire is to have students study alone in class or at home, or you want to place your students in groups and have them study together, this is a great way to spice up the boring flashcards. There are always terms that students must know in order to be successful with new material. There are two sections where students engage. One is called study. Here students are able to learn (simply view/review flashcards) or test (be tested on the cards, which includes various test types). The second section is games. Two games are given: scatter (you match terms with definitions), or space race (you try to write the correct definition before the term flies off the page).

I think this a great website to have found for teachers to provide to their students! Students can practice with the flash cards that you can create for all subjects including math, science and history, to name a few. The ability to make learning usually boring concepts more engaging through games is FANTASTIC! I look forward to creating my flash cards for next year with Quizlet!
