Quizlett

While memorizing vocabulary does not involve higher order thinking skills, nor is it very 21st Century, there are times when we ask students to do memorization. Whether it is Spanish, biology, history, English vocabulary, Quizlet is a great tool that can take the boring out of memorizing. This is one tool that I use with my own two boys when they need to study for quizzes and test that involve vocabulary, people, or events. My oldest will even create his own flash card sets, (which little does he know, helps him study) studies them, then will use the terms in his set and create a test for himself. Some of the cool features of Quizlet that go beyond mere flashcards include:

• the ability to search for sets already created by other users and export them to use as your own.
  
• the auto fill option (type in a term, click auto fill, choose a definition already used by someone else who included the term in one of their sets).
  
• There are a couple of games users can play to help them memorize their terms.
