Quizlet is a tool for learning vocabulary

Quizlet provides a robust way for teachers and students to learn vocabulary. It an interesting approach coming from the instructional design field. In that Andrew Sutherland has turned what I would call a teacher test-making tool into a student studying tool. He adds some nice Ajax gui-ness and social networking sharing to the mix. Bringing this software code to the web unlocks a lot of untapped energy through the network. Imagine a student taking a quiz 5 times, rather than once. Okay, this ruins the validity of the assessment instrument, but they learned it nonetheless.

I would love the ability to embed a quizlet into my blog, similar to YouTube.
