The Pro version is $59.88 a year or $7.99 per month. School and bulk discounts are available. Be on the lookout for pricing changes!

Quizlet Live
Let's give it try!
- Open quizlet.live.

- Quizlet Live will assign you a team. Find your teammates and get together.
- Wait for the teacher to begin the game.
Relay Style
We love Quizlet Live, but playing Relay Style really makes it exciting. The devices for each team are all placed in one location. Students on a team line up and only one person at a time can go to the devices and answer a question. Once a question has been answered, the next student goes to the devices and answers the next question. Watch this video to see how it in action!

EdPuzzle
edpuzzle allows you to import any instructional video into your account, trimming it to show only the portion you need. You can then embed questions to hold your students accountable during the video. Student progress is recorded for you to monitor or use as assessment grades.
Science Choice Boards
Today's technology tools can provide teachers with the ability to give their students choices when assigning projects. Every student may not have the same apps as their classmates, so instead of requiring the students to use a particular app or website, why not give them a choice? You will find that student engagement and creativity will increase when students are given the freedom to use different tools to deliver content.
