While I was working on my artifact, my computer's browser crashed. I was devistated that my work had all dissapeared. When I went back to the site later in order to start over, I had a wonderful message asking if I wanted to continue working on the project I had started or if I wanted to discard it.
My heart soared.
Other things I enjoyed about quizlet is how easy it is to log in using my already established educational google account. It's nice to have one more way to connect my educational tools. I also like how easy it was to begin creating sets of flash cards, or quizzes. Because many people use this tool for second language learners, you are required to establish which language you are using. To make this easier, the site has easily clickable languages that are most used. You do not have to wade through a long list of the languages of the world
Dislikes:
In order to make full use of the site, you must have an account. The creating of whole sets of "cards" is very time consuming, especially if you are writing in two different languages. Further, you may need to adjust your computer settings in order to use the keyboard associated with the language you are trying to use. Because the tool is so easy to use, more complicated math types such as "greater than or equal to" signs are impossible to include depicted the same way as one would hand write the sign.
Uses in the Classroom:
The uses of this tool in the classroom are vast. Quizlets can be created to study vocabulary, work through various problems, practice through quizzing yourself, and more. For the math classroom, I can see myself using this to help students learn vocabulary, and while it is possible to teach procedure through these quizlets, it is difficult to learn or practice procedure.
Overall:
I had fun using quizlet to make the artifact below. It was fun and entertaining on my part, and I would hope that my students would find it a unique way to practice mathematics. However, if I were to use this as a consistant tool, it would be time consuming and hard to pull together. The quizzes require a student to type in verbatim the definitions used in these flash cards which can lead to very high levels of frustration.
