October 1, 2014 by admin

Screen Shot 2014-10-01 at 8.52.59 AM Quizlet is a popular free service for creating and sharing sets of flashcards. Quizlet’s free iPad app makes all of their flashcards available to students wherever they take their iPads.

Through the Quizlet iPad app students can access their own sets of flashcards or search for those created and shared by others. Through the app students can access their flashcards used even when they don’t have an internet connection. Quizlet flashcards can include audio elements in eighteen languages. Audio support is available for Quizlet flashcards. To access the audio option students simply tap the speaker icon to hear the contents of their flashcards read aloud.

Quizlet’s iPad app offers four review modes. “Cards” mode is your standard flipping of flashcards from question side to answer side. “Study” mode is just the a question with its answer displayed next to it. “Match” mode is a Memory-style game in which students look for matching cards. “Learn” mode is a Jeopardy-style activity in which students are shown a term and they have to type in a question.

Use StudyBlue’s iPad App to Create and Share Study Materials

January 25, 2013 by admin

Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 8.44.42 AM StudyBlue is a service for creating and sharing flashcard sets. The free StudyBlue iPad app allows you to create flashcards in three ways. You can enter text, take a picture, or speak into the app. The app can be used by students to review their flashcards in a quiz style or by just flipping through their flashcards. And students can use the app to search for public sets of flashcards in the StudyBlue gallery.

The first time a student signs-into the app he or she is given the opportunity to enter a school name. Entering a school name will give the student the option to find flashcards created by other students in the same school.

StudyBlue will track usage statistics to help students identify which flashcards a student has mastered and which ones they need to spend more time on. Students can study their flashcards without an Internet connection, but they do need an Internet connection in order to create new flashcards and search for other users’ flashcards.

Creating flashcards with audio recordings could be very useful for students that are trying to learn a new language. A teacher could create flashcards in which they speak a word with proper pronunciation on one side and the spelling of the word on the other. After creating a set of flashcards share it with your students. Or you could reverse the process and have students create the flashcards, share with you, and then assess them on their recorded pronunciations.
