 * Quizlet: Flashcards**  **presented by Kristi Reyes**   **MCC Flex Workshop, Nov. 6, 2014**

With a free Quizlet account, you and your students can find or make flashcards with text, images, and automated audio. You can create flashcards with definitions, parts of speech, or cloze sentences. Use the site for whole-class review of vocabulary or assign students to use the vocabulary lists you enter for self-testing. Students can practice spelling, listening, and pronunciation with the site’s various exercises and built-in audio.

Teachers can create classes and monitor students’ progress. To find out how to create and manage a class, see the links under “Classes” on the Quizlet Help page. To see how you can create a graded test and follow your students’ progress, see the links under “Teachers & Schools” on the Quizlet Help page or visit Teachers Quizlet.

Kristi Reyes' flashcard sets

With Flashcards, students can view full screen, shuffle, enable audio, and choose to show just the term first and click to flip the card to see the definition or choose to see both terms and definitions on one side of a flashcard.

By scrolling down on the page, students can see the list of all the flashcard set’s terms to study the terms and hear audio of both the terms and their definitions, which can be reordered alphabetically or printed, as with this US History sample.

Under a flashcard set are buttons that lead to other practice and self-testing options:


 * With Speller, students need to correctly type in the words they hear. The flashcards can be made in foreign languages, and the site handles 18 different languages. The drop-down options allow for users to choose whether the term or the definition is read and to select the speed of the audio (slow, fast) or to choose no audio.
 * With the **Learn** mode, users are provided definitions (select **Prompt with Term**) or audio (**Speak It**), and type in terms. If a term is incorrect, the user is required to type in the answer to help cement the correct answer.

If the flashcard set is entered with images in place of text, the images will be displayed, and users need to type in the vocabulary terms. Note: You can only use Flickr images with the free Quizlet account, but you could upload your own photos to Flickr and use them. To upload your own images directly to Quizlet, you must upgrade to a Plus account.

At the end of the exercise, the user is provided with a progress report and then the incorrect questions are displayed again for further review.

When the Test mode is selected, the result is randomly-created multiple-choice, True/False, writing (type in the answer), and matching questions based on the vocabulary set. The number and type of questions can be selected using the options in the left side-panel:


 * Just select the question types, whether or not to ignore case, punctuation, etc., and whether to prompt with terms or definitions.
 * Select the number of questions and select the “Reconfigure” button.
 * The tests can be printed, as well. Select the Print this Test button at the top of the test.

Finally, for fun whole-class practice or individual extra practice, users can play one of the two games the site generates from a flashcard set:
 * With Scatter, as fast as possible users must drag terms to definitions or vice verse, or if images were used, drag images to terms. A timer records the time, so this game could be an amusing class competition in which individuals from teams compete for the fastest time. Try it yourself. Animals Scatter Game
 * With the challenging Space Race game, users must type in terms for scrolling definitions as fast as possible, before the definition scrolls off the screen. The prompt can be switched to the term so that users need to type in a definition instead. If the answer is not typed in on time, the user is prompted to copy the answer. Try this sample Space Race game from an Anatomy flashcard set.
