[|Flashcard Machine]

I would use this website in my 10th grade Health class for a lot of our units. It allows me to make flashcards for students to study from. It would be nice for me to put flashcards cards on for certain units because I could put information on the cards that is crucial for the test/quiz. Another great way to use it is to have students register for the site also and they can develop their own flashcards for the tests. I think this is a great tool for myself and for my students because many teenagers really enjoy working on the computer which makes making flashcards a little more enjoyable. Another positive for students is that they won't lose their flashcards or forget them somewhere to study from. They can log on anywhere and study for their test on the computer even if they lose or forget their flashcards. Students could also split up chapters of units and share flashcards online so they don't have to do a whole unit on their own. If the flashcards are hard copies they can't collaborate and share ideas as easily as they would if they are online. I personally really like to look at other educators flashcards on the website and get ideas of what I could put on my own and what topics I possibly missed or should have covered. I also think a review game in class could be done with this website with question/answer and put up on the SMARTboard for students.
