Flashcards
Flashcards are a great way to learn vocabulary or points of grammar.You can discover already created vocabulary 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 of vocabulary about the environment for oral or essay prep. The one on the bottom is an example of how flashcards can be used to revise grammar.Try these decks and then create your own!

Quizzes
GoConqr quizzes are a useful and fun way for you to test your learning. You can ask your teacher to create a test for you, find one already online, or make one for your friends. You can create quizzes with a variety of question types, including multiple choice and fill-in-the-blanks.You can take the test multiple times and track your improvement. When your friends review your answers, they can see not only their result, but why their answer was correct or incorrect. Quizzes can be timed.Creating your own quizzes is a wonderful way to deepen and demonstrate your mastery of subject material, and you can have fun competing with your friends. Why don't you invite your friends to try the quiz on the left?

Using Mind Maps
Mind maps are used to arrange information visually to facilitate understanding and recall.You could create resources like the mind map guide to L'Imparfait (top right), or search the GoConqr library for more examples. You might also find mind maps useful for organising your thoughts for written assignments such as letters or essays, planning in English and adding French vocabulary and phrases.Each node represents a concept or idea, and further information or explanation can be included in attached notation.You can check off nodes as you learn concepts or complete translation tasks.

Groups
A further feature of GoConqr is the ability to create groups.You can create a group for each of your classes or exams, making it easy for you to share resources with your friends.Groups can be used for discussion outside the classroom which facilitates peer learning - keep up with what your friends are studying!You can also form a group with students from other schools who are studying similar topics. As GoConqr is a global platform, you could create a group which included students from France, so you could work on your communication skills with native French speakers, and learn more about French lifestyle and culture.
