Do you use Quizlet.com............if not you are missing out on awesomeness!!

Have you ever had that one student that is so distracted when on the computers and when you turn your back they are playing flappybird or sugar sugar? Well this website may possibly come in handy for the classic "gamer student" that finishes early or needs something to fill their gaming jitters.

 Quizlet.com is a FREE resource that allows you to create an account and set up different sets of information for your students to practice. Once you set up a set of information such as vocabulary terms, students search your set of terms and practice them using flashcards, spelling, take a quiz, and also play games. If students create an account they can compete against other classmates by making it on the scoreboard.

Quizlet is also available as an App so students can practice for quizzes and tests while on the go. Such an awesome resource to keep your students that finish early busy or simply your students that struggle with lessons and need an extra way to practices.
