Interactive Diagrams on Quizlet

Quizlet has released an update to its popular flashcard and review website--diagrams. This is a great addition for subject areas that have visual content. This could include locations on a map, parts of a cell, steps in a math problem, parts of a sentence, elements of art, parts on a piece of equipment and much more!

It's easy to use. (detailed directions)

  1. Create quiz cards as usual.
  2. Upload a picture.
  3. Add location points to the picture.
  4.  Align locations to the terms on your cards. 
  5. Share with your students (link or embed). Here is a sample to try.



Students can still use all the traditional flashcard reviews, but now, in "learn" mode, students can quiz themselves based on the picture locations.


Don't have time to create your own? No problem. Browse, select and use some of the many diagrams already posted for use on Quizlet.



Note: With the free version, you are limited to 8 diagram cards in each set. However, if you need more than that, you can made additional sets. 

Next level: You can take Quizlet diagrams a step further and have students create their own study sets. This is even better because students will be engaged at a higher cognitive level. After they are created, you can have students share their study sets with each other to increase review options. This would be quick and easy with a Schoology discussion or on a shared Google doc.

Give it a try. These are easy to create and a fun way for students to review!
