matching terms. e) Print: Print preformatted flash cards or study list.
TIPS FOR TEACHERS More Specific Quizlet Lesson Details: Before a test I have students form study
groups to divide up the terms. They define them, post them on Quizlet, and print them out for me to verfify. The students
then use them to review for their exam. Groups larger than 6 may run across some technical challenges if they are editing
their flashcards online at the same time.
Need a Quick Review Activity For Class: Have a projector,
short on time? It's faster to create a flash card set and go through the online review tools with the class then to create
a review PowerPoint.
Use with Special Education: The info organization and directness of the
online review tools give structure for students with learning disabilities.
Standarized
Testing: Quizlet is an effecient way to do a final review for state exams.
Making Uploading
Group Flash Cards More Effecient: Have the students create their terms and definitions using an outside word processor.
The easier format for importing is to place a tab between the term and definition and place the next term on the next line.
Example (Tab not spacebar between the two words): Apple Fruit Carrot Vegetable
Transfering
One Set of Flash Cards to a New Set of Flashcards: Click "Combine with other sets," To manually transfer, click
"Export." The text it generates can be copied and pasted into the "Import" page.
