Quizlet
Whatever you teach, a study set already exists, and the Learn mode sequences it with spaced repetition that actually reflects the science. Students live here before tests anyway; assigning it well simply upgrades what they were already going to do at 11 p.m.
Have students build the set, not just study it; writing the cards is the studying.
Gimkit
Created by a student for a class project, which explains why it understands students so well. Correct answers earn cash to spend on upgrades and sabotage, and modes like Among Us style social deduction turn vocabulary review into the loudest ten minutes of the week.
2D world modes make brilliant indoor recess that happens to be your unit review.
