I regularly use Quizlet in my classroom as I pre-teach vocabulary before going into new content. The benefits that I have seen firsthand using Quizlet Live in my classroom has been the following: increased student engagement, active participation, reinforced learning and better retention of terms, teamwork. What I saw immediately is that it transformed a task that students normally found to be less engaging a fun and competitive activity. I was able to get all students actively involved in the lesson as they were contributing, no longer were there some students who would passively learn. Because of the timing we had repeated exposure to the new terms and definitions during the game and students received immediate feedback on their answers so they were able to immediately correct any mistakes.
As a teacher I liked being able to quickly check for student understanding on the various terms introduce. I could identify the most missed terms at the end of the round to identify what learning gaps existed and I used this information to plan a quick review for the following class period. The ability to track student performance also allowed me the flexibility to check in individually with students who may have appeared to be struggling with material or passively participating.
I would like to try the team option to see if it could help my students improve their communication skills this is an important 21st Century skill that would be important in the real world.
