Quizlet Live! A Great Collaborative Game

Quizlet has been my go to flash card platform until I discovered memrise.com. I abandoned quizlet because I wanted my students to keep reviewing beyond the test. Memrise follows what we know from memory science about long term retention of information. Memrise is a paced memorization system which gamifies the learning and puts a higher value on reviewing. – the longer you’ve known something, the deeper its roots are planted in your mind. Once I discovered Quizlet Live, I am back using quizlet to give my students this fast paced social game to help them review and collaborate with each other. 

Quizlet Live is easy to use, you just need to click a button and it automatically creates the game for you from your quizlet study set. it's free and compatible in Hebrew.

Flipped Classroom with Nearpod using Audio Visuals

Nearpod has been my go-to app for teaching and reviewing content with my students. I have now discovered that I can use Nearpod as a good way to pre-teach or flip my classroom. It is very similar to using Educanon/Zaption to have students stop and answer questions while they are learning. I like using Nearpod because of the flexibility it gives. I have the option to use it as a flipped  classroom activity as well as an in-class activity.

Here is a Mishna (Hebrew)I prepared:

(Note the play button on each content slide)

Here is a Gemara I prepared: Kiddushin 6
(I started with Rabbi Avi Wasser's Power Point and I added the questions and audio)
