QUIZLET
Quizlet is a mobile & web-based study application used by
1-in-2 high school students and 1-in-3 college students in the United States. It
was created by Andrew Sutherland in October 2005 and released to the public in
January 2007. Quizlet trains
students via flashcards and various games and tests. As of August 2017, Quizlet has over 140 million
user-generated flashcard sets and more than 20 million active learners. It
now ranks among the top 50 websites in the U.S. In 2016, Quizlet was recognized by Similar Web as the fastest growing US Education site in 2015. Quizlet holds annual language
competitions in French, German and Spanish.
Using Quizlet as learning media has some benefits. Quizlet has so many ways of learning (such as flashcards, write, spell, test,
match, and gravity). Those
ways of learning will not make us boring when we learn something through Quizlet. Instead of making us boring to
learn something, Quizlet will be more
fun for us when learning something because we do not just see a task which is
full of letters, no pictures, no graphic at all. Meanwhile in Quizlet, we can see pictures, and
various ways of learning (not just answering the question written by writing on
the workbook).
Somehow, everything has its own
strength and weakness. It also occurs to Quizlet
as well. So far, the weakness of Quizlet
is about the list of definitions. There are some vocabularies that the
definitions are not available in Quizlet
(such as “drum’s tom, filler keyboard”, and etc). However, it does not mean
that Quizlet is not useful at all for
learning process. It is still helpful especially for the teacher in teaching
something new to the students in the fun way.
In my
opinion, I will use this Quizlet in my class later when having a quiz or a test
of certain topic. I will let the students study first, and then I will ask them
to close their books, and keep it away from their table. Next, I will let them
to sit silently. I will open the Quizlet (maybe I will use flash card). I will
ask them to write the answer on their test paper based on the flashcard that I will
display. However, I will give time for them to answer each picture and/or
explanation displayed.
I think
that’s all about Quizlet. In summary, Quizlet is very useful, especially when
you want to teach new vocabularies to your students. It is much better and more
fun if you use this Quizlet as your media of teaching those new vocabularies.
