Cram is a Flashcard Creation Site with Some Terrific Features!

Do your students a favor and introduce them to this site.


Students appreciate using applications that help them study for tests, quizzes and to help them memorize.  And they are especially interested when the application includes a gaming feature!!

 Cram is a site that was shared with me by one of my colleagues (Thank you Catherine Wood!) who has been using Cram in her Spanish classes.

Cram is appealing, simple and can be used on a browser or as an app.

Here are some great features:
  • Browse Cram for premade and ready to use flashcard sets. 

 It is obvious that Cram is quite popular and well used!


  • Create a flashcard set from scratch or import a set from a file or from Google Docs

  • Use shortcuts to practice the flashcards, with the ability for hints and text to speech.

  • Use the Memorize tab to keep track of your progress. Keep practicing the facts you need to work on.



  • Use the Test tab to test yourself with a matching exercise.

  • Use the Games tab to pay two challenging games with the content you are studying.  These games are really great! They make the learning entertaining and are similar to modern games that are played today on social media.

I highly recommend using Cram with your students. They will appreciate the different ways to study the flashcards and also the games that will make the learning more fun.

They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
