PE5 Quizlet

The next step for my RILS plan is for my students to create their own flashcard sets. I anticipate some difficulty here because when I created my first set, I mixed up the term and the definition, so I felt like I was being asked the questions backwards on the flashcards. Luckliy, there is an option to present the flashcards the opposite way, so I was able to remedy my problem on the 'learn' portion of Quizlet. However, I found that the option of reversing the presentation of the flashcard information does not translate to the games, Scatter and Space Race. Needless to say, I had to create my set all over again.

To create my set for this post, I decided to make flashcards on Bible verses I want to remember. Before I began, I figured I would make use of the search function in Quizlet to see what was already available and maybe save myself some time. When I performed my search, over 1,003 flashcard sets came up. Wowsers!

The search function of Quizlet is a super time saver because my students always complain about not having enough time to study or get homework done, so to be able to search and find sets that were previously created is a plus. If you look to the left under 'Subtopics', you see that Quizlet even breaks down the searched sets in to categories to make it easier to pinpoint what you are trying to find. One note of caution I will warn my students about is that that they will need to check the information on flashcard sets they did not create because there is a chance that the information provided could be wrong.

While we are in search mode, one aspect that enhances searched flashed card sets even more is that users can drag their mouse over the title of the set and a brief example of if contents will be displayed.

Enough of the searching, now its time to create my own set of flashcards. The set on Bible verses was easier because it was more natural to assign the proper items to term or definition. The term was the location of the Bible verse, and the definition was the Bible verse itself.

I love Quizlet. It is a universal tool. Quizlet's versatility allows me to use it in my classroom, for personal study, and as a tool for ministry.
