StudyBlue - flashcards and quizzes

StudyBlue is a site that I started using with my classes this year and the students are really getting into it.  I set up my classes and then invited my students to join.  The site allows users to create flashcards and then share them with the other members in the class.  Not only can definitions be added, but the cards can have pictures on them as well.  The flashcards can be turned in a review sheet and an online quiz.

I have been setting up folders for each unit and then the students make the flashcards.  This way it is not extra work for me and the students get the added learning experience of making the flashcards.

StudyBlue is not just a website; it has android and apple apps as well.

How do you review vocabulary with your classes?

  1. Hi! Some great tech ideas on this blog! Thanks for sharing! I havent used this app for vocab, but my 9th grade daughter uses it in her Italian class, and she says the kids really enjoy it. Its on my "to-do" list for sure.
