Have you played the video above? if you haven't, please do so!
It is yours truly, me making a flashcard for my demo.
In the video, I made flashcards for the formulas in my physics demo. I made it to make it easier for my students to memorize. The only thing that I wished to improve is the font size. I wished I had made it bigger since it is a bit small. But maybe next time, I will improve my font size. Anyway, how much do you know on flashcards?
What is a flashcard? You can google it yourself, but to save you time, here is its meaning:
Flashcards are small note cards used for testing and improving memory through practiced information retrieval. Flashcards are typically two-sided, with the prompt on one side and the information about the prompt on the other. This may include names, vocabulary, concepts, or procedures.
There you go! That is the meaning of a flashcard. Well, now I will share to you my experience in making it. First of all, I have to prepare my lesson plan and then I have to buy materials for it. After buying materials, I can finally start my quest in making nice flashcards.
Here are the things to consider in making one:
Must be relevant
Must be clear and concise
Must me clean and must have a right color combination
I think those are the top 3 things we should consider when we make a flashcard.
It was fun to make flashcards though it's time consuming. We just need to have ample time and make sure to properly housekeep the flashcards so that we won't add waste to the world. And so that in our next lesson, we can still use it and we can save time since we already prepared it.
