Quizlet is an interactive, web-based technology tool that enhances students’ mastery of the content-specific material in a fun and engaging format. Quizlet can be utilized in all grade levels and subject areas, making it an application that all educators and students can benefit from. Teachers can choose to create their own set of material for their students to study from, or, select from a set that has already been created by other users. Once teachers have selected a set of material that they have deemed appropriate for their content, they can then share it with their students so they can begin studying. Quizlet links up directly with teachers’ Google Classroom and Remind accounts, providing an easy way to share material and provide students with quick accessibility. Additionally, students can download the Quizlet application on their phones and tablets, making studying from home or on-the-go effortless.

Quizlet provides several different activities to help students practice and master the material. Students can try out all the features of the application, and then decide which activities help them learn best. This provides not only an easy way for teachers to differentiate, but also helps students identify their own learning needs. Since this is an individual activity, students can practice and learn at their own pace, and not feel any pressure from their classmates if they are experiencing difficulty. Recently, Quizlet just launched a new feature called, Quizlet Learn, which provides students with a study plan to help them master the content in time for their upcoming quiz or test. All students have to do is type in the date of their upcoming assessment, and Quizlet will come up with an adaptive plan based to help them study based on their learning needs. The application will also track students progress and sends them notifications straight to their devices to remind them to study for their quiz.

Within the application, Quizlet provides the following study tools for students:
 * 1) **Flashcards**- Just like paper flashcards, students can either start with the term or definition and flip it over to see the answer. There is also an option for the student to see both the term and definition at the same time if they would prefer that option.
 * 2) **Matching**- Students start off with 6 randomly selected terms and definitions and then must try to match them correctly. In this feature, students can compete with their #|classmates to reach the top of the leaderboard by answering the questions the fastest.
 * 3) **Gravity**- A game-based study tool where students are given a definition and they must type in the correct word before the “asteroid” reaches the ground.
 * 4) **Write**- Students are given a definition, and must spell the term correctly that corresponds to the definition.
 * 5) **Spell**- This feature lets students hear the correct pronunciation of a word and then allows students to type in the spelling based on the pronunciation they just heard. If students get the spelling correct they move on to the next word; however, if students make some errors, Quizlet will highlight the spelling errors and allow the student to try again.
 * 6) **Test-** This study tool allows students to quiz themselves to see how well they have learned the material. Students can modify the types of questions (multiple choice, short answer, etc) on the quiz and also the number of questions based on their needs.

====A collaborative feature of Quizlet is Quizlet Live which is a classroom game. By selecting a set of study material, teachers are able to share a #|join code with their class. Students are automatically assigned to teams. The teams sit together top play and race each other to win. This allows students to build soft skills such as working together. Since none of the students have all of the answers, they must collaborate to find the term that matches the definition. This requires everyone on the team to participate, communicate and stay on task. Quizlet Live also promotes hard skills such as reinforcing vocabulary and accuracy. Accuracy over speed is encouraged because if a team matches a term and definition incorrectly, then they have to start all over from the beginning to win.====
