Last school year, one of my French one kids came in and said "Mrs. Wells, I have found this awesome site and it helped me study for the test we took today." (She had the highest score, by the way.) So, I plugged her laptop into my projector and showed it to everyone. I was hooked.
Quizlet is a flashcard/ game/ testing/ review site where kids and teachers and go and study ANYTHING, yes, ANYTHING. It even has obscure foreign languages on it. I am using it a lot with my students, especially my French one kids. I am requiring them to use it in class as a review for unit tests, quizzes and vocabulary assignments. I have been fortunate enough to not re-invent the wheel. Someone else already inserted the necessary cards for my textbooks so I just copied them to my account and shared them with my kids.
After the students review the flashcards, they can then play a few matching games and do a quiz/ test. I even had my students take the test before the actual written component of a unit test to see how they did. It truly could help students assess their learning and decide what components on which they need to spend more time.
I recommend looking at the site. There are so many ways kids can review.
I am a teacher, too. And I am worry for my students. There are many subjects which require a lot of vocabulary. My co-worker introduced for me an app to find solution. It is Superflashcard app: www.superflashcard.com. It has many choices for your study. You can study by downloading or creating flashcard. Sometimes, you an study by playing games, like Quiz and Spelling Games. My students have improved their skills since they used this app. I think you can try using it and share it with your students.
