Quizlet is a digital learning tool that can be used by students, parents, and teachers. The site contains over 100 million sets of study materials created by other users that range in topics from Landmark Supreme Court Cases to Structures of the Heart and the entire site is available in English, Spanish, and German, however, Quizlet supports many international languages/keyboards for those wanting to input text from a wide array of languages. These study sets are free to use, or users can create their own, so the possibilities are limitless! Quizlet takes information and converts it into flashcards, quizzes, and games, so that users can study the same information in a variety of forms. And users aren't constrained to using just text - images and audio are easy to include in study materials. Best of all - study materials can be shared with students, classmates, parents, and teachers.

Tool Snapshot

There are more than 40 million visits to Quizlet every single month, and Quizlet is currently ranked among the top 50 U.S. websites. Quizlet users begin by either searching for publicly-shared study sets or creating their own.

Users choose which of their sets are public. To create a new study set, user's input study information in the form of terms and definitions (which can include images, if, for example, you are studying anatomy or audio if you are studying for a spanish class). Quizlet then converts that information into six different study modes in a user-friendly and intuitive format, making it useful for any type of learner, from visual to auditory to reading/writing and even kinesthetic learners. Quizlet modes include timed games, which are great for getting those competitive-natured students in your classroom actively involved in their learning, instead of passively trying to memorize a list of vocabulary. Finally, students (and parents and teachers) can track their progress to determine what material needs to be focused on to achieve mastery.

Quizlet & the SAMR Model

Dr. Ruben Puentedura's SAMR model offers a lens for examining how technology is adopted in a classroom. As you strive to incorporate online tools into your classroom, we encourage you to use this model as an analytic tool.

Here is an example of how Quizlet might fit within the SAMR model:

Substitution: Students create flashcards through Quizlet instead of on index cards.

Augmentation: Students link an image or GIF to each flashcard as a memory hook.

Modification: Students can add multimedia to all stages of their project, set deadlines for themselves and others, and track all group members progress in real-time and remotely. Teachers can also track progress and set deadlines to help avoid procrastination.

Redefinition: Both students and teachers can see the activity in each card to follow who in the group contributed in what ways and at what times. Students can critically analyze this log of activity at the end to determine what could have improved their process or made their process more efficient.

Learning Activities

Math: Have each student create a study set containing problems or equations as the terms and answers as the definition. Then, have students pair up and take each others study set in the Quizlet form of a test. After they are done, students determine which problems they did not solve correctly, and the student who created that problem should explain how to correctly get to the answer. Students are thus learning material both through traditional learning means but also through teaching fellow classmates.

Science: Have students create a study set on the topic being studied. For each term or topic, require that students find an image or gif that relates to the topic and helps them remember it as a memory hook. While studying that set in the "learn" or "test" mode (which tracks incorrect responses), require the student to choose a new image or memory hook if they get the answer incorrect more than once.

English/Language Arts: Create a study set of vocabulary words. Have students utilize the quizlet text-to-speech function to learn proper pronunciation of the words. Then have students utilize the "Spell" study mode, forcing students to type in responses that must be spelled correctly. Instead of then assessing students learning in a traditional vocabulary test, test them using an in-class spelling bee!

Other: Have students find a study set (from the millions of user-created flash card sets) relating to a topic in the class and assess that study set for accuracy. If the student finds inaccuracies, have the student explain how they would correct each card to make it accurate.

Setting your students up for success means so much more than teaching daily lessons and hoping students do well on assessments.

You need to teach the information and then provide effective ways for your students to review what you've taught!

Some teachers like to create customized study guides and booklets for their classes, but that takes a lot of time and effort outside of school hours.

That's why so many teachers consider using Quizlet, an online study tool, to save time when helping students prepare for tests!

But before you jump right into adding a new tool to your classroom, it's important to understand the pros and cons of Quizlet to help decide if it's right for you and your students.

In this blog, we'll discuss the biggest pros and cons of using Quizlet to make your decision a little easier.

However, before we jump in it's important to answer one other question -- what exactly is Quizlet?

What Is Quizlet?

Quizlet is a web-based application developed to help students study information through interactive tools and games.
Quizlet's mission is to help students (and teachers) practice and master what they're learning.

In Quizlet, information is organized into "study sets" that users like teachers or students add to their accounts.

When using Quizlet, students log in and choose the appropriate study set for the concepts they need to review. These can be created by a teacher or generated by other users.

Because of the flexibility and customization available, Quizlet can be used in any grade level and any type of class.

That means whether you're a middle school career readiness teacher or a high school health science teacher, Quizlet can help your students study.

Now that you have an idea of what Quizlet is and how it works, let's get into the benefits it provides to you and your students!

3 Pros of Using Quizlet

Overall, Quizlet can be a great tool for you and your students for three reasons:

1. You can easily differentiate review for your students

2. You can incorporate collaboration and teamwork into your classes

3. Students have another way to prepare for tests

1. Quizlet Helps You Differentiate Review for Your Students

Quizlet has seven standard study modes that help students review in the way that works best for them:

- Gravity A level-based game where the student must answer correctly before being hit by an asteroid

When you create study sets for your students, you decide which modes to use based on how your students learn best.

Some study modes, like Flashcards, include text-to-speech audio prompts that help ELLs and students with IEPs learn and remember information.

You can also include images and diagrams as needed to provide better context for your students.

With all of these options, you're creating a customized way for your students to review information, without you having to do a lot of extra work!

2. Quizlet Helps You Incorporate Collaboration and Teamwork Skills

It's not always easy to teach collaboration and teamwork skills, but with Quizlet you can do it while helping students review.

Quizlet Live is an in-class game that teachers can use to help students review information while working together in teams.

The game randomly sorts students into teams to match terms and definitions, and the first team to correctly answer all of the questions wins!

Quizlet Live is fully focused on accuracy over speed. If a team answers any question wrong, they have to start over from the beginning.

This ensures your students' competitive spirit won't override the need to answer correctly.

3. Quizlet Helps Students Prepare for Tests

Ultimately, the other pros of Quizlet tie into this final benefit: Quizlet helps students prepare for tests!

With the engaging study tools and differentiation options available, your students have so many different ways to study information when using Quizlet.

Instead of having to look through notes, fill out worksheets, and create paper flashcards, they can just log in and start studying!

On top of that, if your students have a mobile device, they can download the Quizlet app to review information anytime, anywhere.

That means your students will have more flexibility to study what they want, when they want, and in the way they want.

Talk about the perfect way to set students up for success on test day!

But no study tool is ever perfect.

So now that we've shared the three biggest benefits of Quizlet, it's time to talk about the cons.

3 Cons of Using Quizlet

Though Quizlet is designed to help students learn information, there are three specific drawbacks that can impact your student's learning:

1. Students can get distracted by ads

2. Students could learn incorrect information

3. Students may use Quizlet to cheat

1. Students Can Get Distracted by Ads on Quizlet

If you and your students use the free version of Quizlet, you'll see ads on every page of the website.

Some ads are easy to ignore, but they can be overbearing. These ads are actually designed to distract your students away from learning.

You can upgrade to the paid version of Quizlet to remove the ads, but that may not fit into your classroom budget when there are more important things to purchase!

2. Students Could Learn Incorrect Information on Quizlet
Because Quizlet allows any user to create and share a study set, there is no guarantee the information is accurate.
If a student logs in and chooses a set created by someone else, there's a possibility they could accidentally study incorrect information!

One typo in someone else's cards could lead your student to studying the wrong information, miss questions on a test, and get a low grade they didn't expect to receive.

Though you can instruct your students to only use the sets and games you've created, students can still come across other ones on their own.

3. Students May Use Quizlet to Cheat

If you create Quizlet sets for each assessment in your class, you're providing excellent resources for your students.

But dishonest students may take advantage of those study tools to cheat on their homework and assessments.

Even though Quizlet doesn't allow cheating or academic dishonesty, some students will push the boundaries and find ways to cheat.

It's as easy as a student Googling a homework question, finding a Quizlet set, and copying the answers straight from the website.

In fact, it's so easy that it may not even feel like cheating. Students might just want more information on a certain topic and stumble upon direct answers to their homework.

Cheating isn't a problem unique to Quizlet, but it's one of the most common issues for teachers using this tool.

To curb cheating with Quizlet, you can adjust the settings of your study sets or change the wording of your questions.

But there's no way to keep other users from posting the information found on your assessments.

You can request for Quizlet to remove content that has been used for cheating, but even after the set is taken down, another one could pop back up in a matter of hours!

With these three pros and cons, there's still one question left to answer -- should you use Quizlet?

Should You Use Quizlet?

When it comes down to using Quizlet, it all depends on the balance of pros and cons you'll get from using it.

If you want to provide a customized study tool for your students to memorize and review specific terms and concepts, Quizlet could be perfect for you.

But if you start to notice a suspicious pattern of exceptionally good grades and word-for-word answers, it may be time to cut Quizlet from your teaching strategy.

While this decision is ultimately up to you, you can always ask other teachers for their thoughts!
