Cardkiwi

Cardkiwi is a great site for creating digital flashcards that I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers.  This is a nice site for creating online flashcards that allows users to rate them.  The benefit of this is that Cardwiki then uses a system called "spaced repetition" that differentiates instruction by showing cards that a user needs help w/.  The way this works is a user clicks a thumbs up/down to determine if they know a flashcard.  The cards they need help w/ will appear more often when they are studying.

Below is a brief demo...

Brainscape

Brainscape is an excellent free iOS app for studying any topic based on mobile flashcards.  This "smart" flashcards get rated by the user and based on those ratings will differentiate instruction to help the student learn.  Best of all, a user can either browse through and purchase decks of flashcards or create their own and even share their cards w/ others.  This is great for collaborating, study groups, and for educators looking to create classroom flashcards for their students.

FlashDecks

FlashDecks is a great easy to use site for educators looking to create or find digital flashcards.  These decks can be used on any browser based device and can contain all types of media (i.e. images) and track student usage.  It shows how many questions a user gets right or wrong and used spaced repetition to help them learn a topic.  A user can also put cards into collections to help keep them organized.

Flashcard Monkey

Learning Vocabulary with Cartoons

Flashcard Monkey lets students who are taking the SAT and GRE tests to memorize vocabulary using pictures. Before, students would spend hours pouring over boring word lists. With Flashcard Monkey, students can memorize with visual cues. The cartoons stimulate visual learning and higher retention rate.

You can use the website to look at 507 most common SAT words for free. 800 GRE vocabulary pictures will be put up by september 2014.

Brainthud

Brainthud is a nice new (beta) site for creating flashcards that I just found out about from a reader.  These flashcards can contain images, links, and text and are ideal for studying to help remember a topic/subject.  What's nice is that Brainthud works on any device and through their spaced repetition allows for differentiating instruction to help learn troubling topics.  BT, even generate
s a report that shows correct/wrong answers.

Pear Deck

Pear Deck is a cool educational tool that interacts w/ Google Chrome (extensions) or Google Drive to create interactive quizzes/slides/presentations.  The way this works is an educator creates a dynamic deck/slide w/ or w/out multiple choice questions, then has students join the sessions via their Google in Education domain or Chrome extension.  Then the teacher can ask questions and have students respond to them on their own devices.  This is ideal for Differentiating Instruction and assessing students in real-time.
