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.

We’ve shown you how to learn to play an instrument online in the past, but CNET’s Don Reisinger has a great roundup of even more resources for the job, focusing primarily on the guitar.

The guide features several great web sites for polishing your guitar chops, including All Guitar Chords and Chordbook, two solid-looking resources for learning your chords. Reisinger does feature one drumming resource (which also looks really great) called VirtualDrumming if the guitar isn’t your instrument of choice. If you’ve always been eager to teach yourself to play an instrument, both our guide and CNET’s suggestions look like good places to start.

Already consider yourself somewhat of an expert on your musical instrument of choice? Let’s hear your best tips for getting started in the comments.
