= = =**__ Introduction: __**= Quizlet.com is a Web 2.0 tool for creating and using flashcards online; there are also review games that can be used with each flashcard set. There are literally millions of existing flashcard sets covering any and all subjects taught in school, as well as test prep sets for ACT/SAT, GRE, Praxis, etc. Quizlet flashcard sets are a great study aid, offering several ways to review the content. There is a very low learning curve in using and creating flashcard sets on Quizlet. While Quizlet offers much of its content as free, one can upgrade to the Teacher Version ($25/year); upgrading offers several additional features, including ad-free sets, the ability to view a classes aggregate results, and early access to new content (the ads on the free version are very unobtrusive, though). The components I like best include the set discussions (students can collaborate and share their thoughts on what the most difficult aspects of the content are or even other ways to think about particular terms/information) and text-to-speech (by clicking on the text of a flashcard, Quizlet will "read" that flashcard). It is also possible to upload images to flashcard sets. In order to create flashcard sets, one can sign up using Google or Facebook (fastest and easiest methods) or another email account. Quizlet would primarily be used as a study and review tool.

=**__ Using Quizlet in the Classroom: __**= Teachers can create flashcard sets for students to use in the classroom or, more likely, out of the classroom. Students can also sign up for Quizlet and create their own sets, which they can then share with others. Further, students could collaborate in a study group and create a group set that could be studied by others. Quizlet offers several ways to review each flashcard set. These include Learn, Speller, Test, Scatter, and Race. Good for review, studying, test prep in ANY subject (I have used for preparing for Praxis exams, directed students looking for study aids for ACT test prep, chemistry terms, foreign language learners, algebra terms, etc.)

You can try out Quizlet for yourself by experimenting with the two sets below that have been embedded on this wiki. ( ** Hint ** : the ** __Choose a Study Mode__ ** button on the bottom right corner of the Quizlet box will allow you to maneuver between the various review games available for each particular set.
