Quizlet

QUIZLET is one of my favorites for teaching vocabulary in my Spanish classroom. I can create flashcards for any topic and the games that come with the site are very user friendly for Smart Boards. But, don't think it can only be used for vocabulary learning. The site is for creating flashcards which can pretty much cover any topic. Think multiplication facts, addition facts, social studies information/vocabulary, etc. The possibilities are endless. And best of all, the site if FREE!

After you create your cards your students have options on what to do with them. They can FAMILIARIZE themselves with the topic, they can LEARN the topic by viewing the terms and identifying them, they can take a TEST, play a SCATTER game or a SPACE RACE game. Any way you look at it, the students get involved, are engaged and love to do this with the Smart Board and some have reported to do it at home from the link on my Teacher Website.

Please check it out! Sign up! Create your flashcards and tell me what you think!

You might like StudyStack.com too. I've had teachers say they use it with a smart board too.
