There is an option on Quizlet that allows you to attach pictures that will accompany your vocabulary words. For each word, you can search the data base to see if there are any pictures that you would want to use to attach to your word.

I thought that this feature was very easy to navigate and they actually have many options for each word.  The only downfall I found was that if there were no pictures in their collection that you wanted to use you could upload your own from the Internet or from your computer. This seems great but, in order to use this function, you have to pay $25 for the upgrade. I am going to investigate what the difference is between the free option and the upgraded Quizlet.

Slowly Learning

This week I worked on how I could use Quizlet to sharpen multiplication fact skills. I had to get creative because I couldn't find a multiplication sign to use. I figured that I would use the 'x' letter key and it seemed to work. The only function on Quizlet that didn't recognize it was the speaking function. Typically, when the speaker is clicked, it will read the definition. With the multiplication problem, instead of saying, "three times two" it just states, "three, two".  Other than that, it was very easy to set up the math facts and add them to my class sets. I also figured out that I can take any of my class sets and generate quizzes that can either be done online or printed to use in the classroom. I am going to take advantage of this and give a science vocabulary quiz this week!
