Digital Flash cards

Now, I don't know whether this kind of app is available on all computers e.g. Google laptops, Microsoft etc, but it is available on my Mac, so I'm going to talk about it!


I have an app (which I paid about £2.50 for, so think before you buy!!!) called FlashFacts, if you searched for flashcard apps in the app store, I'm 100% positive that you would find a similar sort of version for FREE. In fact, just go find a free version, we're students we like free things. 




Anyway, I'll talk about revision card apps in general, but any print screens will have come from FlashFacts. 

Online/digital flash cards are useful because; 

- they don't use up paper 
- on some you can add voice recordings/videos 
- you can add pictures without printing them 
- they take less time to write (I think a lot of people type faster than they write)
- they will record how many you get right 
- you can organise them into subjects/modules/topics etc 
- for some you can store them on iCloud or other cloud storage and access them via a mini version of the app on your phone or tablet - this means revision cards on the go but not taking up loads of space in a bag etc. 
- if you scan in your notes, you can use your own diagrams or pictures 

Heres an example of what you can do with online flashcards; 

 There are loads of online sites out there as well, not just apps
- studyblue 
- quizlet 
- studystack 
- flashcardmachine 





If you literally just google (or bing...) online flashcards, or you type in flashcards into an app search then something will come up!
