Online Vocab Flashcards

I just found this--online flashcards a teacher made for his class to help them prep for the SAT. I just think they're cool because they have visuals. I love word roots when I'm learning vocabulary, because I love knowing where words come from--because it's interesting, it sticks with me. But lots of other learners benefit from associating words with pictures. (By the way, I use this site to learn word roots when I'm making flashcards...)


Here's the link if you want to check the rest out. Some of them are rather weird, but I think it's a great idea. I know a lot of students prefer to work on a computer than to make flashcards with a sharpie and a box of index cards.


So, try to make some slides of your own! And show us the Flickr folder when you're done...
