A week ago I was in my local multipurpose store/pharmacy looking to purchase some index cards. I needed to practice my lies before I was to fill my fake prescription for Hillbilly Heroine and pain lollipops (it’s only a crime if you get caught). I entered the stationary isle to buy a pack of index cards and was shocked to find out that it would cost me about two dollars to make my felonies more believable. How is a young entrepreneur like myself suppose to make a prophet from my ill-gotten gains if I’m already spending money. Not wanting to burn 2 bucks I went home and searched for an alternative.
Quizlet is an online flashcard creation site. Yes there are many flashcard sites but none like Quizlet. “Quizlet eats flashcards for breakfast”, according to the website. You create a list of words and definitions and Quizlet used it’s online tools to teach it to you.
One method used is a game called “scatter”. Just imagine 52 pickup but with flash cards. You just drag and drop the term on top of the definition and vice-versa. Scatter is timed which kept me playing it over and over to beat my time. It’s not all about games here. There is conventional term to definition matching with a twist. The system monitors which terms you know, shows them less and shows the ones you don’t more. Not bad for a site who’s creator was still worrying about homeroom and study hall when it launched a few years ago. Yes, he was in high school when it all came to him. Talk about initiative.
Check out Quizlet today, you may find it good to create a list and share it with your students as a cool method to prepare the class for your next quiz.
