Quizlet Live
If you haven't used Quizlet Live it is worth checking out. Quizlet Live allows you to randomly create collaborative groups of students who have to work together and communicate in order to answer their set of questions faster than the other teams. The more quickly you answer the faster your team moves to the finish, if a question is answered incorrectly your team has to start over at the beginning. Students LOVE using this tool. It's an engaging and motivating tool to use to reinforce skills and/or review content with students. Let me know if you are interested in using this tool with students, I am happy to help get you started with Quizlet Live.
