Teachers always think of some new ways of teaching vocabulary items. I usually show them word cards, pictures and real objects when I teach vocabulary items but sometimes I do find that those are too boring for students. Two years ago, I tried to use iPad with my P. 1 class when I taught them some new words. That application on iPad was like Quizlet which I have tried during this session but I did not use it for a long time because I am not very familiar with using an iPad or a tablet. (I am so sorry that I have already forgotten the name of that application! My colleague taught me how to use it two years ago.) My P. 1 class actually liked playing those 'games' on iPad and they were quite useful for helping students spell the words. Yet, it took me quite a long time to insert the words and pictures.
Today, I have learnt how to use Quizlet in Paul's lesson and it is a very efficient tool! I can create some flashcards and tests in less than 5 minutes. It will definitely save my time when I plan for my lessons and I really think that students will be more willing to revise the words they have learnt by playing simple games. I will start a new chapter next week and I can't wait to try Quizlet! :-D
