Gimkit can be used in any classroom to introduce or review concepts; it's like a mashup of Kahoot! and Quizlet.

The live gameplay is fast-paced and engaging like a game show, but when it's assigned for independent practice, Gimkit functions more like flash cards. Speaking of Quizlet, you can import Quizlet sets (text only) into Gimkit with just a few clicks.

Using either the Quizlet import feature or the collaborative quiz-building KitCollab mode, you can create a Gimkit game in a few minutes. This makes it easy to insert an interactive review game into your lesson with minimal prep.

Teachers can also use the assignments feature to give homework. You set a due date, and students work through the kit at their own pace, answering questions until they reach a set goal.

Quizlet is a way to create a "study set" or flashcards.

Flipgrid is a free social learning platform that allows teachers to ask questions by posting “topics”.  Students then respond to each topic with their own video. Teachers can control the time limit of each response and monitor student reactions.  Students can view/read other students' answers, and interact with these responses by posting their own video response which will appear in a tiled grid display.
