Online Quiz/ flash Card Creator

Quizlet allows students to make fun interactive flash cards that need to be matched with terms or mathematical concepts. You can set up words, definitions, equations and even images. It is a fun way for students to remember terms and concepts. Also great way to divide a topic up into components and get students to create a set of flash cards and play an engaging learning game. There are three different modes; familiarise, learn and test. The best thing about the testing mode is that the students can time themselves. This introduces a gaming element.
