Quizlet (web 2.0)
http://quizlet.com/ Quizlet (web 2.0) My mission for Quizlet is to make learning vocabulary not a chore.

So Quizlet is my response - it aims to make learning fun, thus make learning effective. At the very least, it can help students do better on quizzes and tests even if they don't fully "absorb" their words. Quizlet is free and will remain free to all users. |
