Flash Card Creator - Flippity

I found a easy to use flashcard creator that uses a Google spreadsheet.  All you have to do is to have a Google Drive account and download the template.  The website is http://flippity.net/

You can view a demo by clicking on the URL below. A screenshot shows the appearance.  You have a choice of colors for the flashcard and can even include videos.

Create Flashcards Using Google Spreadsheets

Students in the informatics courses I teach often tell me that the learning informatics vocabulary is like learning a foreign language.  It is one reason that I use gaming tools that include flash cards for each chapter lesson.  One learning activity instructors might consider is for students to create a set of flashcards using the key words in a chapter with Google spreadsheets.  Sheets is the term used for spreadsheets in Google Drive.  Flippity (http://flippity.net/) is an easy to use tool for learners to use.  The only downsides for its use are that the learner must have a Google account and the fact that the tool is advertisement supported.

The tool is easy to use.  You open the flashcard template in your Google Drive, modify it with the key words and definitions, and then share it on the web.  Creating flashcards should take only a few minutes!  Flippity is an easy resource to use.
