WebQuest 2.0 Review: GREEN
We felt like the FlashCard Machine would get the most use by their audience of elementary students. From personal experience, we feel like flash cards are used often and would be an interesting way to reinvent the traditional flash card-type study tool. 3 ways we would use this program would be for vocabulary words, math skills, and science terms. Pros- free, saves trees, easy technology for elementary students, recognized skill in new way. Cons- memorization by making actual cards and need computer to use.

Sincerely,

Green Team :)
