iPhoto2Flashcard

 
 

While spending a couple of days embedded at Yishun Primary School recently, I came upon a request from an primary (grade) school teacher on how to better create flashcards.


Creating flashcards currently can be a tedious matter, with teachers printing out large texts, cutting and laminating cards. This teacher described to me what might be a dream software for her, and so here it is :-)


This software helps to automate the creation of flashcards, with the following features:


  1. 1.flashcards are organized from iPhoto albums

  2. 2.creation of flashcards are automated

  3. 3.educator can choose to use images, or text, even audio (converted automatically); or any combination of the three

 

Do you make flashcards?

This software was developed on 10.5.6 Leopard, iPhoto ’09 and Keynote ’09. You mileage will vary with older versions.


I am NOT planning to create an option for PowerPoint :-)


Before launching this software, try to have Keynote and iPhoto open first.
