Flashcards are a great learning and study tool for students. Easy and simple instructions for teachers to illustrate to students how to make flashcards.
Flashcards are portable, simple to create, and easy to use. They are an excellent learning tool for students inside and outside the classroom. As well, no student can not benefit from using flashcards as a study or learning tool.
Flashcards are known for learning multiplication tables, ABC's, and beginning sounds and words. However, there are a multitude of uses for flashcards for for primary to medical students. I recently taught seventh graders how to create and use flashcards to aid them in studying for a science test. The students were learning as they were deciding on the pertinent information to place on the flashcards. As well, their dialogue was also assisting them in learning the material.
Flash cards are not just for rote learning but are rather a tool to break down information into simple chunks for easier learning and comprehension.
