I’m getting ready to head back to school in a few days as a guest speaker for a digital marketing class at my Alma Mater, ASU. Since I have school on the brain, this tip seems fairly timely.

When I was in school I’ll admit I had a bit of an obsession with buying super cute school supplies to keep all my notes and study materials organized. The one thing I never found a great system for were flashcards. Either you got a big stack of them tied with a rubber band or you bought little notebooks of them and invariably ran out at midnight the night before a test. Well now there are digital solutions to that dilemma:

Memorize.com is a web site where you can create and use flashcards to study a variety of topics online. You can save paper and space in your bag. They have lists of premade card sets based on category or you can make your own. You can even use diagrams and other tools.

Flashcardmachine.com has a little more oomph to it than Memorize. You can create an account and save packs for certain classes. Teachers can create flashcards for their students or students can connect with each other and share cards.
