 * Sponsors:** The website is 100% user supported and takes donations from its users to keep the website running.


 * Description:**

The Flashcard Machine website provides a student or teacher with a new way of studying for tests or the class in general. It allows a student to make technology based flashcards only once and by doing that they can share the cards with who ever they want in the class room. One of the advantages is you can compare your flashcards with another student in the class and see what they might think is an important topic to study. Also if you might have missed a class you can go and find someone in the class that was there and made flashcards so that you can have those study tips. One negative is though is a student has not been coming to class or putting forth the effort they could still view classmates flashcards and might do just as well as someone who went to class everyday.

[|Example]

This example is the home page of the website that contains what the flash cards look like and what all can be done with the flashcards.
