This site allows you to create flashcards. I like that you can browse through others as well as create a group for only your class if you wish. I think this would be a great tool to use for students to create their own flashcards to share and study with. I would talk with students about what makes a good flashcard as well as how to best utilize them. Students can also create their own to use on their own. What a great tool to have at your fingertips. So much easier and more environmentally friendly then the old days of index cards. I am excited to share this site with my friend that teaches Spanish. She was struggling with the print shop this year; they didn’t want to spend the money on cardstock for her. With these cards they can be created and used by many students for years to come.
The cards can also have graphics, audio, video, math equations along with plain text.
The textbooks we use have a website where students can use their premade flashcards. They are great but I like that these are user created so that students can add more to their deck and concentrate on what they are struggling with.
I think that these could also be used as a whole-class activity, the flashcards can be displayed on the projector for the entire class to review, like we do when we play Jeopardy. Students can also quiz each other or themselves very easily by just using them on individual computers.
