Uses in the Classroom:
This would be a great tool for students to practice vocabulary terms that are related to the units they are studying in class. If a teacher could create a master set for the class, each student could use a device and practice their terms using this app in order to prepare for exams.
Possible Assessments:
These flashcards could be utilized in order to prepare for an assessment, however they alone do not qualify as an assessment of student learning.
Possible Issues/ Difficulties when using these apps with students:
Teachers would need to find out if they could create a master set of flashcards and give the students his/her login and use the flash cards at the same time on different devices. If this were possible, this could be an extremely useful tool for teachers and students.
