Flashcards

Flashcards are a great way to learn key concepts or definitions.You can discover already created flashcard decks which you can use to revise on the go, using the GoConqr mobile app.You could break a topic into sections and you and your friends could each work on  making flashcards for a different section. You can then share the decks in a class group created on GoConqr, or by emailing directly to your friends.The flashcard deck on the top right is an example using concepts associated with studying population. Another deck (bottom right) will help you learn about earthquakes.Try these decks and then create your own!
