Comment on Quizlet by Pilar Munday

I have embedded Quizzlet in our class NING for students to practice Spanish for a while now, but recently, my 15 year old son was studying French on it, while competing with his classmates for points by doing the games it comes with. He is a good student, but I still was greatly surprised at how many times he wanted to do the vocabulary games just to beat his classmates. I had never seen that use of Quizzlet, but I’m planning on exploring that option with my own students now.

Thanks so much for your post. Every language educator should know about this great tool!

[...] Buzz My favorite game because it’s intuitive, social, and adaptable. Here’s how it works: up to 8 players each take a wireless controller, which sports 4 brightly colored buttons and a large “Buzz” button. Players choose their own avatars and buzzing sounds and then compete in a quiz game show, somewhere along the lines of “Who wants to be a Millionaire” and “Jeopardy”. It’s so simple, you give someone a buzzer and he/she knows what to do. It’s available in a number of languages, depending on where you buy it. You can use the quizzes on the disc, or you (or your students…) can make your own for free by using a web interface. More… [...]
