Using Flippity.net to Create Flashcards!

For my vocabulary units, I always have the students make flashcards.  However, when our school made the transition to go one-to-one, I needed to find a new solution.

Meet Flippity.

This tool is the easiest way I have found to create online flashcards!  My students have been using it this year and are loving it!

Below is my video introduction.  Enjoy :)
