Thank you to everyone who participated in our <a href="https://quizlet.com/blog/1248" target="_blank">Quizlet Live Fall Giveaway</a>, where we challenged teachers and their students to play as many games of Quizlet Live as possible for a chance to win $1,000 for their classrooms!

Before we meet our three lucky winners, let’s take a look at the numbers, shall we?
* **1.6 million** total games of Quizlet Live were played
* Over **100,000** teachers and **2.9 million** students participated
* The most games played by one individual was **419**
* Classrooms from all **50** U.S. states were represented

### Grand prize winners
And now — drumroll, please — we’re excited to announce the three incredible teachers who’ve won our top prize of $1,000 for them and their classrooms:

🏆 **Erik Nelson**
[![Erik Nelson.jpg](https://img.quizlet.com/RYgaV-o.jpg)](https://quizlet.com/teachergenki)
Erik has been teaching ESL for over 30 years in pretty much every capacity you could think of: university professor, secondary and primary education, and for a time as the founder of his own language school! He tells us, "For me, it's a passion, and I couldn't fathom doing anything else."

After using Quizlet for over 5 years, **his number one Quizlet tip**: "You know how we say a "Picture is worth a thousand words"? Well, keep that in mind when making your flashcards. Whenever possible add context to what you are trying to teach: pictures, [sounds, example sentences](https://quizlet.com/blog/four-ways-to-use-quizlets-custom-audio), etc."

🏆 **Sara Allsup**
[![Sara Allsup.jpg](https://img.quizlet.com/Y2g3a-o.jpg)](https://quizlet.com/sallsup)
Sara is a life science (Biology and Physiology) teacher at a title one school in San Diego, California. She's been teaching for fourteen years and loves her job. She especially enjoys mixing hands-on teaching with technology use, and finds it's helpful that Quizlet allows her students to interact with the material in a variety of ways.

**Her Quizlet tip**: "Use it consistently, but in combination with other review activities and assign or [give incentives](https://quizlet.com/blog/teacher-tip-3-easy-ways-to-reward-quizlet-live-winners) for students to play individual games (matching, Gravity) on their own. Make it a competition to get the highest score or match in the fastest time."

🏆 **Sheri Freestone-Swart**
[![Sheri Freestone.jpg](https://img.quizlet.com/Dw7VY-o.jpg)](https://quizlet.com/freestos)
Sheri teaches 9th and 10th grade French at Corning-Painted Post High School in Corning, NY. This is her 5th year of teaching — and using Quizlet — and she loves what she does. **Her best Quizlet advice**? "I use Quizlet Live as a Bell Ringer to review the vocabulary that we have learned. [I also] use [pictures](https://quizlet.com/features/teacher-custom-sets) whenever possible. I think having a visual aid really helps students retain the information."

---------------------------------

**A huge thank you to everyone who played!** Here at the Quizlet office, we’ve loved seeing the engagement, collaboration and incredible learning you’ve all brought to [Quizlet Live](https://quizlet.com/features/live). Have a wonderful start to the new year and learn on!

**Notice anything different about Quizlet Live lately?**

Like the change in seasons as the earth orbits the sun, you can now change the way you play <a href="https://quizlet.com/features/live" target="_blank">Quizlet Live</a> as your students make progress on the material you’re teaching:
1. **Start with classic**: See definitions first, answer with terms
2. **Next try reverse**: See terms first, answer with definitions
3. **Have a diagram? Go easy**: See terms first, answer on the diagram
4. **Then make it harder**: See definitions first, answer on the diagram

![Screen Shot 2019-10-08 at 1.45.06 PM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/FGvg6-o.jpg) *To see these options, start a game of Quizlet Live as you normally would. Playing with a diagram depends on whether the set has one. <a href="https://quizlet.com/features/diagrams" target="_blank">Learn more about diagrams here</a>.*

### FAQs
* **How do you gain contest entries?**
There are a few ways to gain entries. Via the widget above, you can enter your name and email address, share the contest with others and follow @Quizlet on Twitter. The way to gain the most entries, however, is to play games of Quizlet Live!
* **What counts as a game of Quizlet Live?**
A completed 8 or 12-question session of Quizlet Live counts as one game played, and each game played counts as one entry. So if you play multiple times using the same set with the same group of students, those will all count as entries. If you play on a different set or with a different group of students, those games will count as more entries too! **Note**: Games played won't show up on the widget above, but we'll send an email with your stats every week.
* **I'm new to Quizlet Live — how do I play?**
You can <a href="https://help.quizlet.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030985431-Starting-a-game-of-Quizlet-Live" target="_blank">learn how to play here</a>. And to see it in action, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=quizletlive&src=typed_query" target="_blank">click here</a>. 🎉
* **I'm a student. Can I enter the contest?**
This particular contest is for teachers, who can start games of Quizlet Live — but you can tell your teacher about it and have them enter. I'm sure they'll thank you!
* **Where can I see the full contest rules?**
See our <a href="https://help.quizlet.com/hc/articles/360035342231" target="_blank">official rules</a> for details. **Note:** No purchase necessary. Purchase does not improve your chances of winning.

Fall for Quizlet Live this year — and win $1,000 for you and your classroom

Harness Quizlet's powerful class organization functions to inform students, encourage collaboration, and provide resources quickly and easily.

![Classes quotes 1_3x.jpg](https://img.quizlet.com/r8pkp-o.jpg)

For teachers, the start of the school year is the perfect time to set up Quizlet classes. While folders are great for personal organization, **classes help you curate Quizlet sets for specific groups of students**.

Read on to learn more about getting started with classes and **check out pro tips** from Quizlet's Teacher Ambassador community.

-----------------------------

### Tip 1: Create a class — or as many as you need
If you haven’t already done so, follow these simple steps to set up your first class:
1. [Log into Quizlet](https://quizlet.com/login) and click on **“Create a class” on the sidebar**
2. Enter the name of your class and an optional description
3. Enter the name of your school. We’ll also save this choice for any future classes you create.
4. Click “Create class”

With a free Quizlet account, you can **create up to eight classes** that you can reuse year after year. If you need more flexibility, [upgrade to Quizlet Teacher](https://quizlet.com/upgrade?showTeacher&source=blog) so you can create an unlimited number of classes.

-----------------------------

### Tip 2: Have students join your class
Once you’ve created your class, invite your students to join. While not required, having students become members of your Quizlet class means that **they’ll have easier, more independent access to your material** throughout the school year, whether logged into the website or the [Quizlet app](https://quizlet.com/mobile).

![Classes quotes 2_2x.png](https://img.quizlet.com/GDwp9-o.jpg)

**Class members will also be notified** by email and on the site when you add new sets to the class, helping them know exactly what and when to study.

Additionally, if you'd like to **keep your sets private** to your students, you can [make them visible to class members only](https://help.quizlet.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030255191-Changing-a-set-s-visibility).

![Screen Shot 2019-08-25 at 10.22.12 PM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/VXag8-o.jpg)

-----------------------------

### Tip 3: Share the class join link
The easiest way for students to become members of your Quizlet class is by following the **join link**. You’ll find this unique link on each of your class pages.

![Screen Shot 2019-08-25 at 9.00.02 PM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/dqXrw-o.jpg)

**Share this link with your students by:**
* Pasting it into an email to your students
* Adding it to your class website or LMS
* Customizing our [Getting Started handout for students](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XR-p7tHqKCpcFipc_NRKA3wmUesnqaL7/view) or [for parents](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OUGoFkFVAzq2SVqJaL85tkxGEJD6BjS4/view)

When students follow the class join link, they’ll be sent to your class and prompted to log into their Quizlet account or sign up if they don’t have one yet. Then they’ll click the **“Join Class” button** to be added.

-----------------------------

### Tip 4: Give clear instructions for usernames
If students are signing up for Quizlet for the first time, **direct them to create usernames that are easy for you to identify**. For example, “lastname_studentID.” If you’re using our [Getting Started handout](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XR-p7tHqKCpcFipc_NRKA3wmUesnqaL7/view), you can include these instructions here:

![Screen Shot 2019-08-25 at 9.05.58 PM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/duK2r-o.jpg)

Or, if some of your incoming students already have Quizlet accounts, take the advice of this Teacher Ambassador and **keep a backup spreadsheet**:

![Classes quotes 5_2x.png](https://img.quizlet.com/UB75Q-o.jpg)

-----------------------------

### Tip 5: Connect with Google Classroom
If you’re using Google Classroom, connect it with your Quizlet class so that you can **easily share relevant sets and create assignments**. You can also send invites to your Quizlet class using your Google Classroom rosters. [Learn more here](https://help.quizlet.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030874992-Using-Quizlet-classes-with-Google-Classroom).

![Screen Shot 2019-08-25 at 9.22.05 PM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/ANSCh-o.jpg)

-----------------------------

### Tip 6: Foster class collaboration
![Classes quotes 6_2x.png](https://img.quizlet.com/MbggR-o.jpg)

Want to get your students more involved? Choose to **“Allow your students to add study sets”** when setting up or editing your class.

![Screen Shot 2019-08-25 at 9.38.01 PM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/VWw63-o.jpg)

Or, [add another class admin](https://help.quizlet.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031159832-Managing-class-members) to help curate sets during the year — either a co-teacher, a parent or a rotation of students (for extra credit!).

![Classes quotes 7_2x.png](https://img.quizlet.com/6ancW-o.jpg)

-----------------------------

### Tip 7: Use QR codes
In some cases, it may not make sense to have students create their own Quizlet accounts — but you can still give them easy access to helpful study material via your Quizlet class. [A great idea](https://quizlet.com/blog/the-quizlet-difference-how-quizlet-helped-our-school-achieve-27-over-the-district-average) from Teacher Ambassador, Michael Snead: **create a custom QR code using the link to your class** and post it in your classroom.

![Screen Shot 2019-08-25 at 10.03.02 PM.png](https://img.quizlet.com/CCmSU-o.jpg)

-----------------------------

### Tip 8: Track student progress
Setting up classes, adding your sets and having your students join allows you to [track their individual study activity and progress](https://quizlet.com/features/teacher-class-progress) — so you can keep students more accountable, reward strong study habits, and understand which material still needs more review.

![Classes quotes 4_2x.png](https://img.quizlet.com/z6H8P-o.jpg)

**Start tracking Class Progress** by enrolling in a [free trial of Quizlet Teacher](https://quizlet.com/upgrade?showTeacher&source=blog).

Offline studying with Quizlet is now easier than ever. We listened to your feedback and improved the way you save and manage study sets.

Whether we’re making [smart updates to our core features](https://quizlet.com/blog/quizlets-getting-smarter-to-make-your-life-easier-this-school-year) or adding extra value through our premium subscriptions, we always look to our users for insights. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve made some **key improvements to saving and managing sets for offline studying** on the Quizlet mobile app — so you can feel confident you’ve got what you need whenever you need it.

### Control what's saved
**The feedback:** You told us downloading sets was confusing and you wanted more control over what was stored on your phone. Fair. 😑
**The update:** You’ll see a clearer download option on every set. Tap it to save a set instantly and tap it again when you want to remove the set from your downloads. It’s that simple! 😊

![Offline hero image.gif](https://img.quizlet.com/CguA7-o.jpg)

### Manage content easily
**The feedback:** It wasn’t always clear what was downloaded and sometimes you ended up not having what you needed when you went offline. Arrrgh. 😖
**The update:** You can quickly find your saved sets in a new Downloads tab under your Sets feed. To clean things up, you can remove individual sets from each set page or remove all media from your app Account Settings. 😌

![Downloads tab.gif](https://img.quizlet.com/Gxrku-o.jpg)

### Download automatically
**The feedback:** Why are some sets saved and not others? What if I don’t want to manually download every set? Come on Quizlet, help me out. 😒
**The update:** Choose whether or not you’d like us to automatically download your eight most recently studied sets in your app Account Settings. These sets will also appear in your Downloads tab, so you can easily check what’s saved before you go offline. 😉

![Save automatically longer video.gif](https://img.quizlet.com/NXnvn-o.jpg)

Take the power of Quizlet with you and turn the five minutes before class, downtime at practice or time spent waiting in line into a short, focused study session. While not quite as entertaining as scrolling through Instagram, it is more effective at getting you good grades. Don’t have it yet? [Get the Quizlet app here.](http://bit.ly/quizlet-mobile-app)
