HI everyone, if you are finding it hard to get motivated to make revision notes for committing vital information to
memory, here is an online tool that might just help. It is a website that lets you make flashcards – can be printed or used on the computer – or even accessed through a free app that can be downloaded to smartphones. It’s free and is simple to use. I have been experimenting with it to check it out after seeing a recommendation of it on an education website. (I actually
downloaded the app to phone first then went online to start creating flashcards in computer is just fine.
The address is: http://www.studyblue.com/ then just register and get on with it. The process of actually creating
the flashcards is a great way to get thinking about the material being studied and is also the start of committing it to memory for later retrieval – in an examination.
For English, these would be useful things to make flashcards of:
- language terms (writing techniques) from
toolboxes and glossaries students have been given through year + definition + eg
from texts studied- Key quotes + characters who said them and what
they mean/ why they are important- Important characters + facts and qualities (what
they are like) + egs- Main ideas from texts + quotes which sum
them up
The best idea is to have one aspect/thing per flashcard. You can even add a voiceover explanation or video if you have a
microphone and/or webcam for your computer and learn better by listening.
Happy revising.
