Tired of Kahoot!? Try Quizlet Live

Are you and your students getting tired of Kahoot!? Has it lost it’s pizazz? If you’re wondering, “what is Kahoot?”… It’s a great (free) website to use as a class review game. Students get to use their mobile devices or computers to submit answers to multiple choice questions shown on a screen or teacher computer. It became popular in my school as it spread from classroom to classroom, and students have fun with it. But there are some setbacks with this tool…

• Questions you enter have a character limit
• Multiple choice options have a character limit
• Time consuming to create
• Kahoot! fad wears off and looses pizazz

Here’s where I tell you to go try Quizlet.com’s new Live feature! Today, in about 5 minutes, I was able to try it with my Intro to Computer Science class to review for a quiz. They (and I) loved it! Here are some highlights:

• Use any existing Quizlet flashcard set
• Search and use flashcard sets shared by other teachers
• Students compete in teams
• Students in teams all held equally accountable to answer questions
• They are building soft skills by communicating and working together
• Fun competition (first team to answer all questions correctly wins)
• No character limits
• Oh yeah, it’s free too!

It’s quick and easy to get started. Like I mentioned earlier, I discovered it, found a great set (thanks Amanda Gillespie), and played it with my class today! They loved it!
