Flashcard production site
|
Here's a wonderful resource for your SMART Board called Flashcard DB. This site allows teachers to build a set of flash cards in a matter of a few minutes or use one of the thousands pre-made flashcards. I actually created an account (optional if you want to build your own set of flashcards) and built my first set of literary review flashcards in under five minutes. Once you've chosen the flashcard set you wish to use, you can go through the flashcards in review mode or study mode. If you go through in study mode, you're given a cool feedback page showing how many questions you answered correctly. The flashcards work great on a SMART Board and provide teachers with another powerful new tool for the classroom. I should also mention that FlashcardDB allows you to print your flashcards and even formats the print page to make it very easy to cut the cards into even pieces. A great way to start building a flashcard library is to have your students create their own set of flashcards. This would be such a great homework assignment and students are a lot more engaged in the learning process when they take a more active role in it. Once the students create a set of flashcards, you can export and import their work into your account in a few easy steps or just bookmark the links to their set of flashcards. Flashcard DB really makes exporting and importing the flashcard data easy! Once again, don't forget to share this resource with the other teachers in your school. It's a winner! Another big thanks to Mr. Byrne over at Free Technology for Teachers for sharing this wonderful resource with his readers! |

- engage students and provide a supporting visual aid to the subject matter.
- use as a trigger and support for fluency activities
Check out these resources for starters:

SMART Exchange in French
SMART Exchange, the community of SMART Board users, is now available in a French version.
French-speaking educators can now connect with their peers on
a language-specific version of the SMART Exchange. Members
can upload and share lesson activities, learn about new contests

This new version of SMART’s online user community complement the existing English- and German-language ones.
