"Cramming" in the Technology Age

When I was in school, you had to make flashcards in order to study vocabulary... not anymore!  My students have to learn "stems" in our district (latin roots, prefixes, etc.).  I realized that a lot of my students don't even have the materials needed to make flashcards or support at home to help them study.  I decided that I needed to help them study vocabulary, somehow. 

This is when I found http://www.cram.com !  It's the easiest thing in the world to create flashcards!  Even better, once you create the flashcards, you can practice by playing a couple of really cool games.  My kids love it!  If we have a few extra minutes at the end of class, we'll put it up on the SmartBoard and play as a group.  Another bonus, they can get to them at home on a computer, tablet or cell phone.  No more excuses!  Saying I forgot my list at school isn't going to cut it anymore.  Check it out.  :)
