What is Study Stack?
Study Stack has computerized the idea of flashcards and has tried to make the process of reviewing the information more exciting. The Study Stack site generates several different activities for every set of flashcards. By giving students several options for reviewing the information, students will hopefully review the information more. Another benefit is that by reviewing the data in several different formats, you'll end up memorizing the information better as your brain makes several different connections with the data. (definition from site) Below I have given an example of what I have made using this site. If you go to the site you can view tons of other flash cards made by people from different places. The coolest feature this site has is how you can change the format of your flashcard by scrolling down and then choosing one of the options given. For example you can block out parts of the flashcards. Or say if you are using a map, you can pick the target option and have them insert the names of countries, seas, capitols, continents, and so on. This site truly has some great features!

How can you use Study Stack for diverse learners?
You can use this site for diverse learners in many ways. One way to use this site is by making a basic flashcard and then using the options at the bottom of the page. You can change the format of how you want to study with just a click of the button. Secondly, you can make slides to go with your cards to add picture to the words. I know that I learn better when I connect my studying with seeing a picture, hearing about the topic, and then reading about it myself. This site is a great way to help students create their own studying habits because after all they know what works best for them! Finally, another way to help diverse learners is through the language cards already made up. If you had an ESL student in your classroom you could use existing flashcards, make your own, or have the students make their own. This could help the ESL student learn at a faster pace.
