Brain Flips

This website   allows a   teacher or student to make flashcards  or use the flashcards that others have made.

The tool is friendly. The website required one to register although it is free to use.  You need to activate an account and sign up with an email account.  There is some advertising on the site that is annoying.

Many grade levels would benefit from this tool. The flashcards are  great study tools and can be used for many subjects.  I found flashcards already available dealing with Research Methods and Statistics. The flashcards that are shared run a wide range of disciplines and age levels.  You can view the flashcards in 3 ways. The introduction mode has the question and answer side by side.  The traditional mode first you see the question and then the answer. The challenge mode you have to type in the answer. They all can be used for study guides. The challenge mode could be given with an LCD or smart board as a final assessment. The introduction mode could be given as a lecture.  I think it is worthwhile. I am going to show it to my son who uses print flashcards for Spanish.   I think this website can be used to increase achievement.
