QUIZLET || WEEK 10
For the last Web 2.0 that can be used as a teaching and learning tool, I've decided to 'talk' about Quizlet. Honestly, I had never used Quizlet before. I just started to know about this spectacular Web 2.0 from my friends this year. And it has never been the same... Quizlet is such a great web-app for education, especially for students. It is definitely helpful for me to study and memorize certain subjects. Without further ado, let's get in deeper.
What is Quizlet ?
You might think it is related to quizzes. Unfortunately, you are wrong. Quizlet is a free website providing learning tools for students, including flashcards, study and game modes. It was created by high school sophomore Andrew Sutherland in 2005 to help him ace a French vocabulary test. He aced it. And shared it with his friends. Who started acing their tests. And now, more than a decade later, 50 million students and learners use Quizlet every month for everything from math tests to medical exams.
Quizlet’s mission is to help students and teachers practice and master what they’re learning. In Quizlet, information is organized into “study sets” that users like teachers or students add to their accounts. When using Quizlet, students log in and choose the appropriate study set for the concepts they need to review. These can be created by a teacher or generated by other users. Because of the flexibility and customization available, Quizlet can be used in any grade level and any type of class.
