Quizlet & Vocab Retention

Welcome!!
Today we will be focusing on how to help our students with learning and retaining key vocabulary terms.  We will be focusing on Quizlet, as it has MANY ways to differentiate for our students and offers various modes for learning & playing.  

To begin, we will take a look at how Quizlet can be used in your classroom:

Once you have created at least 1 set of cards, you can embed them on your website (I can show you how or follow the directions here)


If you have completed the tasks above, take some time to go through some of the websites below.  They offer some great online quizzes, spelling activities, and other interactives to help your students review key concepts & terms.

I hope you have found Quizlet and these other applications helpful!  The more ways you can approach vocabulary, the more our diverse learners will grasp it and remember it.  Feel free to leave a comment sharing how you handle vocab in your class or which online activities you will try to use with your students.

Enjoy!
