Web Wednesday: Using Quizlet Live During COVID Times

 Web Wednesday: Using Quizlet Live During COVID Times


Quizlet.com is the website with a collection of flashcards. You can search for the topic you are teaching, and you most likely will find a set of terms and definitions for that topic. The library in Quizlet is gigantic. Mrs. Hansen used the flashcards this week to review for an upcoming test; she let the students pick the type of game they wanted to play individually to review.

One of our favorite ways to play Quizlet is Quizlet LIVE with our students. It puts the students in teams to answer the questions. However, in COVID times this is difficult. Our teachers are teaching several different ways- some have all face to face students, some have all remote students, and some have face to face and remote students at the same time. How can we use Quizlet Live with all these different teaching ways?

If your students are face to face, but you are practicing social distancing, use- Quizlet Live Silent and Loud Version.
*For this version, students stay in their seat. Teams are formed, and the students silently tell their teammates their answer (silent version) or they talk across the room about their answer (loud version). This will keep students in their seat still.

Here's a video of how it looks playing in teams:
*Brittni's tip: Let them play more than once and shuffle the teams. We used holiday trivia along with their content; you can actually hear the students talking about color in Mrs. Patranella's Class.

If your students are remote or you have some face to face and some remote live at the same time, then you could use the- individual version. *For this version, students all play on their own individual team. They are assigned an animal, and whoever gets the answers all correct and in the fastest time wins.

Here's how it looks playing individually:
1) Teacher View

2) Student View

*Brittni's tips: Do not play this all the time; use it for quick review and play more than once because one student did not like how fast the review went. It will start students back at zero when they get a question wrong, so they can see the question more than once (depending on how fast the winner finishes the game).
