I have decided to write about using Quizlet in the classroom as I introduced it to my CELTA students last week as I thought they might want to use it in their teaching. One of the learners is visually-impaired and found the font very small. However, I am not under the impression that you can change the font when you use the tool in the classroom.
As a self-study tool it is great. I found this site which praises its use in the classroom and clarifies how it is an accessible tool. It explains how you can use it as a self-study tool; however, I am not convinced that it can be amended sufficiently for use for a large group of learners in the classroom. Unfortunately, the classroom in which I teach, is large and slightly imposing. The learners do not have access to computers and need to gather close to the screen to view the material.
Although I think Quizlet is a very valuable learning e-tool, I feel it works better as a self-study tool or with a small group of learners.
