There are three learning modes and two game modes. The review learning mode goes over the flash cards for review, the study mode displays the definition and the student types the word and the test mode displays a Multiple Choice quiz version of the words.
The Scatter game puts both the word and definition on the screen mixed up. The student moves the word on top of the definition and it disappears.
The Word Invaders displays the definition moving across the screen and the student types the word before the definition moves off the screen.
Groups can be created for the students to study online together, exchange word sets and chat online through Facebook or MySpace. The students can study anywhere they have Internet access. This is a little Technology Twist on a traditional study technique. Follow the link to the Quizlet Website: http://quizlet.com/
Tracy, this site is right up my alley! I love how you can create class groups and upload unit vocabulary for each individual group. I use a good deal of ability grouping in my classes, and we aren't always working on the same stories. I am attempting to 'automate' each group's computer center this year by having them log into a website that will direct them to their activities. I am sure that I will use this application with some of my older students. Thanks for the tip!
