The Web 2.0 tool that I chose to review was Quizlet. Quizlet allows the user to create flashcards based on any subject and share them with other users. After I created my account, I was able to view many different flashcard sets that were available. I believe this would be an excellent tool for any student or teacher. Quizlet saves students and teachers time because they can search and use pre-created sets so they don’t have to begin from scratch. In the event that a pre-created set cannot be found, students and teachers can create a flashcard set that is tailor-made for their needs.
This is the beginning of the flashcard creation process. Notice at the top, I have linked this account to my Facebook to increase its accessibility. The process of creating the flashcards was extremely easy. Simply title your set, write an explanation of it, and begin typing up your terms and definitions.
This is an example of a flashcard from my finished set. As you can see, it provides the problem, and then you "click to flip" for the answer.
The last aspect of Quizlet that really excited me was its ability to create games based on flashcard content. Space Race (left) sends terms across the screen and users have to type in the definitions before the terms leave the screen. Scatter (right) displays terms and definitions on the screen and the user must drag and match them all together in the least amount of time possible.
