BrainFlips: Free Online Flashcards

BrainFlipsLogoFlash cards are a staple of students studying toolbox, but the tedious work required to create and share them sometimes gets in the way of their regular use. Enter BrainFlips, one of the best flashcard sites I’ve come across. An account (free) is required to create and share flash card decks, but no account is required to use the decks that other users have created which as of this writing there are 726 decks available. Some cool examples include: Barack Obama, Addition, and Introductory Spanish. Plus each deck can be viewed in one of 3 ways: Introduction mode, which gives you the question and answer side by side, Traditional Mode, shows question and then the answer, or Response Mode, which creates a multiple choice game out of the cards.

Thanks to FreeTech4Teachers for finding this site.
