Renthead Mommy Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Trying to convince the boy he could study easier with flash cards. Zero chance he would ever write them until he is completely convinced, so it needs to be a website and then you "flash" them on your computer. And it needs to be computer dummy and old computer friendly since I will have to set up the first batch or two to get him to even try it this way. All he envisions is a lot of extra work writing them out 'before' he even starts to study. That whole 'you are studying while you are making them is being missed by his 14yo 'I know what I'm doing' mind! So suggestions of easy sites you ir your kids have used please?

heartlikealion Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Depending on what he's trying to do with the information, he might even be able to use SpellingCity. I tried Anki on my computer and I got frustrated with it for some reason. That was a while back and might be an older version, though. I'm going to look into Quizlet.

Arcadia Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Quizlet. My kids have used it on my phone, their tablets and their laptops. Also there are lots of Quizlet lists tied to textbooks that has been created by teachers/tutors. I can find lists for common textbooks so I didn't need to type. I haven't tried Anki.

Alessandra Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Quizlet. My kids have used it on my phone, their tablets and their laptops. Also there are lots of Quizlet lists tied to textbooks that has been created by teachers/tutors. I can find lists for common textbooks so I didn't need to type. I haven't tried Anki. This. Quizlet is fun to use. It will talk to you. It knows different languages. Free. (But you can add pictures to your cards by subscribing for a tiny amount.) Quizlet also includes a number of fun games for your card set. The timed mix and match is addictive, as people usually want to to get a better time and play again and again. It doesn't feel like studying, but you learn. Edited September 7, 2016 by Alessandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd293 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Quizlet. If he's studying something from an established book there's a good chance the cards are already there for him (we've found Lively Latin, Trail Guide to World Geography, Caesar's English and dd's German, for instance). They can be used on the computer but are great for iPods or smartphones - there's an app you can download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
