I selected this tool because I always have to create flashcards to memorize information. Sometimes it takes me hours because I have so many flashcards to make. I am way faster at typing then at handwriting so this tool comes in very handy. The fact that it is always saved once I make my cards is another plus, sometimes I forget to put my flashcards back into my book bag and I don't have them the next day at school to study from. I also study while I'm eating and drinking and sometimes water or food spills onto my flashcards and all my hard work is ruined. I will be using this tool myself in the future. Its very easy to figure out!
This tool would be helpful to a student who has a disability where they can't write legibly or one who has a hard time focusing in class. They can type what they want on their flashcards so they don't have to worry about being able to read it or not. Also this saves a lot of time for the student, typing can be faster than handwriting the words out. If the student has ADD/ADHD they could have a hard time concentrating in class when reviewing or playing review games. With this tool the teacher can set them up at a computer where they will be more focused. Since they are playing against a computer for the review games I believe this will help them learn more. They won't be so focused on if they say a wrong answer another student might laugh at them or hurry to answer so they can beat their friends.
This sounds like a neat tool. Do you think you'll use it yourself? You had some good insight in to why a student with a disablility might benefit from it. Did you create anyting to share in class?
ReplyDeleteI think I would use this myself. I did creaate about 5 flashcards just to show the class how it works and how easy it is.
