== '''Overview and Purpose''' ==

With the emergence of technology in nearly every aspect of education in the 21st century, teachers may feel overwhelmed. There are numerous programs, apps, and devices, that are emerging trying to establish themselves as a vital part of the classroom. Flashcards have been a staple of studying key vocabulary or concepts in preparation for summative assessments. Some weaknesses of having students create flashcards can include: that it is time-consuming, materials needed, can easily be misplaced, may not be done correctly. This is certainly not a complete list but often some issues that may occur in a K-12 setting. With the introduction of mobile technology in the past twenty years, smartphones can be able to replace bulky flashcards with the use of the app Quizlet.
