Physical Flashcards

Download Article

Alfonzo says, “I often see students struggling with their focus and time to study, so to avoid distractions, I recommend physical flashcards.” While this may be an old-school method, she explains that paper flashcards are effective because “writing cards engages different memory pathways,” and “the tactile experience can make the learning experience better.” As a plus, you also reduce screen time.^{[18]
