Using Flashcards in class
Most people think Flashcards can only be used out of the class and so are of little value to teachers. This couldn’t be further from the truth. While it’s true that Flashcards are great for students to refresh their memory, a teacher can give direction on which areas to focus on. Teachers can also get great use out of them by preparing a deck of Flashcards and topics and sharing them with their pupils after each lesson. These could be more useful and engaging that simply handing out a summary note.
Flashcards are a versatile study tool as you can mix them into your lesson plan for all of your subjects. These study aids are the ideal way to prepare your students for their exams as they act as memory boosters by linking to more detailed information in their brain.
