Quizlet's Collaborative Game Feature (and how to embed in Schoology)

Tech Tip of the Week . . .Quizlet and its new collaborative game feature.

Quizlet has long been a teacher favorite for helping students study and review content. It’s also a great formative assessment tool for students. Here are some of the activities available in Quizlet:.

• Flashcards (with text, audio and images)
• Learn mode (students type answers)
• Speller (students spell the word they hear)
• Test (students complete practice tests with 4 possible question types)
• Scatter (an independent matching game)
• Gravity (review game where students type answers to save the planet from asteroids)

Note: Flashcards are available in multiple languages!

New! Quizlet has just added a collaborative quiz game for teams of students called Live. Once you’ve created a set of at least 12 cards and have at least 6 students to play, you can create the game. Click “Live” and get a game code. Students go to quizlet.live and enter a quiz code. They do not even need accounts! The game randomly puts students in teams where they need to collaborate to answer the questions. The first team to get all the answers correct wins.
