Web 2.0 describes the current state of the web, which has more user-generated content and
usability for end-users compared to its earlier incarnation, Web 1.0. In general, Web 2.0 refers to
the Internet applications that have transformed the digital era in the aftermath of the dotcom
bubble.

A Web 2.0 website allows users to interact and collaborate with each other through social media
dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community. This contrasts the first
generation of Web 1.0-era websites where people were limited to viewing content in a passive
manner.

“Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the
internet as a platform, and any attempt to understand the rules for success on that new
platform.”

sharing sites (YouTube), wikis (MediaWiki), blogs
(WordPress), social networking (Facebook),

 What is Quizlet?

Quizlet is a study set creation tool for students and teachers that gives lots of freedom to
create

Quizlet is a fantastic tool for teachers to create quizzes for in-person and remote learning
that makes building and assessing quick and easy. It is even smart enough to offer adaptive
learning to suit the student.
Quizlet offers a huge range of subjects and question styles, from visual study materials to
fill-in-the-blank games, and plenty more. But styles aside, the big appeal here is that,
according to Quizlet, 90 percent of students who use it report higher grades. A bold claim
indeed.

 How Does Quizlet Work?
Quizlet is broken down into several
styles, including:
• Flashcards
• Learn
• Spell
• Test
• Match
• Gravity
• Live
Flashcards are pretty self explanatory, like real ones, with a question on one side and the
answer on the other.

Learn puts questions and answers into multiple choice-style quizzes that can be completed to
get an overall result. This applies to images, too.
6

Spell will speak aloud a word and the student is then required to type out the spelling of it.
Test is an auto-generated mix of questions with written, multiple choice, and true-or-false answer
options.

Match has you pairing up correct words or a mix of words and images.

Gravity is a game that has asteroids with words coming at a planet you need to protect by typing
out the words before they hit.

Live is a game mode that allows for multiple students to work collaboratively.

 What are the best Quizlet features?
Quizlet has all those excellent modes that allow for a variety of ways to get information
across for learning across a broad range of subjects.

The smart adaptive nature of Quizlet is a powerful feature. The Learn mode uses data
from millions of anonymous sessions and then generates adaptive study plans designed
to improve learning.

Quizlet offers a lot of support for English language learners and students with learning
differences. Select a word or definition, and it will be read aloud. Or, in the case of
teacher accounts, attach your own audio recording. It's also possible to add visual
learning aids to cards with specific images or custom diagrams.

Quizlet has a plethora of media that can be used, including a huge pool of licensed
Flickr photography. Music can also be added, allowing for very targeted learning. Or
teachers may find something ideal that has already been created and is available in the
9
selection of shared online quizzes.

 Is this tool being currently used in education, if so how, if not
how it can be used in your opinion?
Quizlet is an amazing tool for reviewing vocabulary,
especially in a mathematical terminology. Students can work
individually, using a variety of different tools like flashcards,
listening, spelling, dictation, and best of all... games! They
can also play a high-energy, fun, team game called Quizlet
Live, in which the teacher can set the students into teams
that work together to quickly tackle a list of vocabulary
terms.

I really enjoy this tool. Students love to practice on their

own, and are always asking me to create vocabulary sets
so they can practice and review. They DEPEND on this
tool. Some students take the initiative to make their own
sets. And they absolutely LOVE to play this game in
class to review before tests and quizzes.
11
Overall, Quizlet can be a great tool for you and your students for three reasons:
1.You can easily differentiate review for your students

1.You can incorporate collaboration and teamwork into your classes

1.Students have another way to prepare for tests

12
Though Quizlet is designed to help students learn information, there are three
specific drawbacks that can impact your student’s learning:
1.Students can get distracted by ads

1.Students could learn incorrect information

3.Students may use Quizlet to cheat
