7 places to make and find flashcards online

Flashcards are one of the most common ways to study for a test.  Here are ten good places to create and find flashcards online.

1. Cramberry allows users to share flashcards with other users. After creating your flashcards you can contribute to a public gallery of flashcards. If you don't have time to make flashcards of your own, you can search for and study flashcards in the public gallery. To use the flashcards you will need to create a Cramberry account.

2. Flashcards created using Funnel Brain can include a "third side" to a flashcard. A side that contains the explanation for the answer to a question. In addition to text Funnel Brain flashcards can include videos, audio, and pictures. Under your videos and images you can type your question, answer, or explanation. Just as with many other flashcard services Funnel Brain flashcards can be shared with other users.

3. Ediscio is a little different from a lot of flashcard creation because Ediscio lets you build sets of flashcards individually or with the help of other Ediscio users. The other distinguishing feature of Ediscio is that flashcards can include images.

4. Cobocards, like other flashcard services, allows you to create customized sets of flashcards. One of the key differences between Cobocards and other flashcard services is that Cobocards provides you with pdf copies of your flashcards that you can print to study offline.

5. Flashcard DB is one of the most well-designed free flashcard programs that I've seen on the web. Flashcard DB, like most flashcard programs, allows you to browse existing sets of flashcards or create your own custom set of flashcards. What makes Flashcard DB different from its competitors is the study methods that can be used with the flashcards. Flashcard DB allows students to study using the Leitner System or the Graded Space Repetition Method.

6. On Quizlet you can make your own flashcards or study from publicly shared sets of flashcards. Quizlet offers you the ability to study your cards in five different ways including playing a couple of games with your cards. When creating your flashcards you can enter information for each card individually or import information from a text document to be used in your card set.

7. On Muchobeets students can create their own flashcards. For students preparing for a general exam, Muchobeets has a good collection of publicly shared vocabulary flashcards. The Muchobeets service is very easy to use. If you want to make your own flashcards simply register with your email address and get started using the very intuitive flashcard creation template. No registration is required if you want to use the publicly shared stacks of flashcards.

STORY TELLING "ELMER"

Today I want to share with you my experience in the elaboration of a story telling called “Elmer”. My classmates and I have adapted this story for children about four years old. I think that is a very interesting method to introduce new vocabulary in English. Children enjoy and motivate at the same time that listen and learn. With “Elmer” we can work with colours, feelings, face-expressions, numbers, animals and all we want to. For that, we have invented some pre, while and post-telling activities. The final result was better than we thought because children were very interested in listening and participate in all activities. We knew that “Elmer” could be fabulous, but it was perfect at all. That is the reason for I recommend this specific story to tell children in schools, using visual material and dynamic activities.

THEY WILL LOVE IT!!
