Quizlet for iPad

If you haven't discovered it already, Quizlet is a great app as a tool for studying.  Quizlet had been out for awhile, however from my experience it offers a decent amount of capability for being a FREE app.

Not only is this a great tool for general study of facts and concepts, but it, also, works well for learning languages.

Starting off, a student can easily Sign-up and Sign-in via their school Gmail account.  Making it very easy and secure for a student to register for an account.  Once started, a student can create a data bank of terms and definitions grouped in what Quizlet calls study sets.  Below is a video demo of using Quizlet.

Flashcards with Cramberry

I stumbled across this app for creating on line flashcards.  This is a great web application for any subject when studying vocabulary or key words, names or places.  Once you set up your account you can start adding in your key words and definitions.  Cramberry will recognize most common words and supply an automatic definition that you can opt to use; or simply create your own.
Another cool feature about Cramberry is that they offer an iPad app with which you can view a portable version of your Cramberry flashcard library.  This could a great feature for getting individual students involved; especially in Special Education.  The app is $3.99.

Cramberry, also, offers thousands of pre-made flashcards sorted by category.  Teacher your students Spanish vocabulary with Cramberry's pre-made Spanish Vocabulary flashcards.

Opening an account is easy.  They offer either the FREE version or for more capability subscribe $9/year for the Pro version.
