In the U.K. they call them TeachMeets. In the U.S. they might call them a PD session. But they're essentially the same thing: Teachers training other teachers how to be better teachers. In the U.S., they have an extra component to them in that teachers can often earn personal development credit (CP…

Whenever I meet a teacher who uses Quizlet in the classroom, I ask them where they heard about Quizlet. Almost all of them tell me the same thing: from another teacher. Some of those teachers are Quizlet Ambassadors, our club of super teachers who love to help spread the word, but most of the reco…

Last year, I shared the current snapshot of where Quizlet was with our diversity and inclusion initiatives and a commitment to publish our annual updates on those efforts.

Did you attend the 2018 Quizlet Unconference last week? The presenters dropped some serious knowledge with plenty of real-world examples.

A few of my favorites (so far) include Quizlet Live Playoffs, Match Relays, Flyswatter, and Hide and Seek Vocab. And tho…
