Making Studying Fun & Easy with iFlash
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
If you are like me, and memorize phrases, words, formulas etc. with flash cards, then you will want to read this post. iFlash is this great program that lets you run flash cards on your screen, just like in real life, you look at what you put on the front, and when you guess you ask to show you the back.
How Does it Work
What I like most about iFlash is that it is so easy to use! There is no, possible way it could get any simpler; you write what you want on the front of the card, you write what you want on the back of the card, pretty simple isn’t it?
After you enter everything you press study, and you keep going through all of them until they are all memorized. A nice feature is that when you finally know a card, you can say you know it by clicking the “Known” button, and it will not show up in your set of flash cards anymore.
My favorite part is when you are done, once you are done, it tells you how many you got write out of how many possible, the percentage you got right, the option to start over (which will not include the cards you already know) and the option to finish.
Other Thoughts
I really like this program, I can definitely see myself using this a lot before tests. It’s nice too, it’s a lot faster to type out then write, plus its neat (I have terrible handwriting).
One other feature that I didn’t include up there was that you have the option to black out your screen. Meaning that its just you and the flash cards, your background and everything goes black, which can really help with distractions.
What programs do you use to study? Will you see yourself using this in the future?
