Comments on: Creating Custom iPhone and iPod Touch Flashcards with gFlash and Google Documents http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2009/02/07/creating-custom-iphone-and-ipod-touch-flashcards-with-gflash-and-google-documents/ Weblog of Wesley Fryer Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jeoud http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2009/02/07/creating-custom-iphone-and-ipod-touch-flashcards-with-gflash-and-google-documents/comment-page-1/#comment-160322 Jeoud Thu, 03 Mar 2011 07:57:00 +0000 http://www.speedofcreativity.org/?p=3361#comment-160322 This post was written a time ago, but it's pretty detailed and I read it with attention. I developped an App called iVocAudio (that could be explained as "Vocal flashcards") that works exclusively based on audio: it's very fast to record new pairs of Q&A, and then according to the validation of the user for each Question (I know/I don't know), the app shows more or less frequently the same pair. Here is the iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ivocaudio/id404446774?mt=8 Besides, a server (http://www.ivocaudio-share.com) was also developped so that users can share their iVocAudio folders for free: it will be introduced officiallly in 3 weeks for the launch of the next version. I'd be very glad if you could test this app and give me feedback with the help of your Children as users... can I send you a promo code?

Quiz/flashcard stacks created with StudyStack are viewable with gFlash apps and directly on webpages: http://www.studystack.com/ Study Stack does not presently support media stacks tho, which include images, audio files, videos, etc. The fact it supports web access is great, however.

StudyStack takes the same data that you enter for the flashcards and uses it to generate a bunch of other activities. Crossword, hangman, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and scrambled word to name a few. The gFlashPro application can pull flashcard data from http://www.studystack.com.

To your knowledge, is there any way to make this content also viewable on a web page? Lately I've really been thinking about content accessibility via a variety of devices. It would be ideal if teachers/students could create flash card content via the technique described above and have it not only available via the gFlash application on the iPod Touch/iPhone, but to also have it appear in other spaces for folks who do not own one of these devices. While I like the promise of the iPhone/iPod touch and the apps as a mobile learning device, I have major reservations that this platform will move us back to the days of proprietary windows only/mac only apps of 10 years ago. For integration to be successful in a learning environment, the content needs to be accessible to a variety of devices and in a variety of formats. Ultimately I hope that an smart phone interoperability standard is developed so applications could work on the iPhone, blackberry, Android, and other mobile OS environments (in addition to being accessible via more traditional devices such as laptops, desktops, etc). ~Matt Montagne Palo Alto, CA Hey Wes,

Simple Spark is the best directory of web apps for smartphones that I've seen, they will likely have several apps that could serve as checklist programs: http://simplespark.com/ Ken: You are most welcome.

Thank you1 In the strange event that your son is "unplugged" at some point during his multiplication memorization quest, he can try this trick for the nine times tables: Let's try 9x4: Hold both hands out in front of you with your palms facing away from your face. Starting from the left, count over 4 fingers and bend that finger down. (9x5, you would bend down the fifth finger). When you look at your hands, you'll see the 2-digit number answer! 3 fingers to the left of the bent finger and 6 fingers to the right of the bent finger = 36. I found this difficult to explain with words, so I hope this picture clears up any confusion. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33609970@N06/3260173377/ Wes, Great post and great suggestions.

I'm hoping to find more simple education resources like this for the explosion of iPhones, Android phones, and Blackberrys more of use are using. Do you know of where I can find a simple checklist program I can use on my Blackberry for when I take my music ensembles on a field trip? Wes-
