Quizlet sets can be as simple as 2 questions with their answers.
Students learn when they create their own Quizlet sets.
Collaboration is easy & efficient with classmates & teachers.
Quizlet sets can include text, math formulas, foreign words, audio, and graphics.

3. Study Options Students have 5 ways to study the materials.
There are options within each of these five ways that can be adapted to the students needs.

4. Study Options: Learn
This is the starting point for learning. Students are given 7 randomized questions form the set. They can select star to ones they don’t know yet. Options include Audio on or off; format of questions (terms or definitions),Question types, Flashcards, written questions, and/or multiple choice.

5. Study Options: Flashcards
Shows all of the cards in the set. Options allow audio on/off and normal/slow audio. The pencil icon opens both sides (question & answer) on one screen. This helps visual learners.

6. Study Options: Write
Shows all of the cards in the set. Options allow audio on/off. A “Don’t Know” option shows the answer, can read it aloud, and allows the student to copy the answer correctly. If the answer is close to correct, there is an option to override the card. At the end, all missed questions are returned to study.

7. Study Options: Spell
Spell works well with Audio learners and those who need to improve their spelling. The audio can be set to normal of slow speed.They can listen to the question multiple times and write the answer.

8. Study Options: Test
The test option is used after one or a combination of the 4 study module is used. The Options allow the student to create a test that will be similar or exactly the same as the test in class. They have options to select the question types, all the questions or just the starred (missed) questions, and if available, show/hide images. The student can repeat this test until they achieve 100%.

9. Gaming Options
There are two gaming apps that use the study material were they can compete against themselves and their classmates.
The gaming options reinforce the learning using the kinesthetic/visual modalities.

10. Gaming: Match
The Match game has the student drag and drop the matching items with 6 choices down to one. After completion, student receives and badge and a place on the leaderboard against themselves and thier classmates.

11. Gaming: Match
After completion, student receives and badge and a place on the leaderboard against themselves and their classmates. When they play again, the next 6 items are randomized, including previously shown items.

12. Gaming: Gravity

13. Gaming: Gravity
Gravity requires the answer to be keyed in before the meteor hits the planet. If you get it wrong or can’t type the answer quickly, the answer is shown. This question will reappear randomly.

14. Using your cell phone, go to Quizlet.Live
Quizlet.Live provides a live competition with students divided into random or defined teams.
Using your cell phone, go to Quizlet.Live
Quizlet live uses collaborative learning. Students can be grouped randomly or by teacher assignment. Each group has 3-4 members. They all have the same questions, but they are delivered in random order. If a team misses a question, they are returned to the beginning and given the correct answer. This competitive activity engages all of the learning modalities as they discuss the options of answers provided.

Made available to all students with links from Moodle
Added assignment of a Quizlet set to be submitted to Google Classroom for each lesson
Consolidated, deleted duplications, made corrections & shared with class.
Participants:

CMA Students in Classes 39-45
I knew this app had potential when I heard my students discussing it in class with each other unprompted. I added all of my study guides to Quizlet

17. First steps Added link as a Study Tool to Moodle (voluntary use)
Students discovered its usefulness.
Students began to volunteer to make sets on individual topics
All students had access to class sets.
Instructor attended Quizlet Un-confernce 8/19/17
Instructor added all quiz study guides to Quizlet.

18. Second Steps Added Quizlet assignment. (mandatory use)
Students volunteered topics to reduce duplication.
All sets submitted to Google Classroom.
Sets are then combined, duplicates removed, corrections made, graphics added.
Sets are made available to all students with a Remind notice.

19. Project challenges & accomplishments
Some students didn’t contribute
Initially, students didn’t use the resource
WiFi issues were addressed
Classroom discussions and sharing experiences
Quizlet.Live added to Daily review before testing
Grades improved in ALL students; increased student retention
Learning becomes FUN!
I can update my materials and quizzes with a quick change to Quizlet. I have increased my number of terms used in Medical Terminology without the tediousness of having to have an entire courses study guides revised before the class starts. Utilizing Moodle, I can take one definition and randomize multiple terms for that definition. Example: There are 7 combining forms for the male sex organ.

20. Students are Engaged and Empowered
Daily Competition inspires students to review the sets.
Missed material is isolated and can be further explained to the class for clarification.
Students can practice in the best way that they learn.
After one week in class, students are singing their praises of using Quizlet.
After each Quizlet.Live Session, meaningful review of confusing topics.
Significantly increased grades and learning across the class.
