Semester Wrap-Up

As the semester comes to a close for most teachers and students it also signifies the end of Easy Notecards' first semester. Our members have created over 40,000 notecards for 110+ books in a little over 3 months. It's great to see so many people of all ages and backgrounds benefiting from Easy Notecards. Teachers have used it for in class studying and homework and students have used it to ace their next test.

As Easy Notecards continues to grow we will continue to evolve to meet the needs of you, our users. Your feedback has been and will always be instrumental to the development of Easy Notecards. For example, many of you wanted a better way to separate notecards you know from those you don't. Our current system allows you to mark notecards you don't know. This works good except that your marked notecards aren't remembered for future study sessions. In a few days we will be releasing an enhancement that not only remembers your marked notecards but also allows you to select All Cards, Marked Cards or Un-Marked Cards when taking the quiz, playing the matching game or printing notecards. More on this in a future post.

I'll leave you with a few cool notecard sets from our first semester:

• Presidents of the United States - name, term years and picture for each president
• Planets - name, location, size and picture for each planet
• Laurel APUSH Terms - detailed US History notecards for The American Promise textbook
• Shop Tools - 50+ notecards that includes name and picture for each tool
• Times Table - 81 notecards beginning at 1 x 1 and ending at 9 x 9
• Alphabet for Kids - letter, picture and word for each letter
• Spanish Numbers 1 - 100 - number and spanish word for each number 1 - 100
• Pet Animals - name and picture for animals that are commonly pets
• Top 250 most difficult SAT/ACT words - word, part of speech, definition and example sentence
• Lord of the Flies: practice test - 25 questions and answers
• ...and so many more

Have a Great Holiday Season!

Adding Items to Favorites

With Easy Notecards you can add notecard sets, books and members to your favorites. Before looking at the benefits of doing this, I'll show you how to add and remove favorites.

To add an item to your favorites click the appropriate Add to My Favorite Item Type(s) button where Item Type is either Notecard Set, Book or Member.

Here's the favorite button (circled in red) for a notecard set. The location is the same for a book and member.

Favorites are stored and organized in your locker. Your Easy Notecards Locker

To remove an item from your favorites either do so through your locker or click the Remove from My Favorite Item Type(s) on the item's page.

Benefits of  Favorites
The main benefit of favorites is being able to quickly access items that are helpful to you. For example, to view a book you previously added to your favorites you would go to your locker, click the Fav books tab and click the book.

Another benefits of favorites is the notifications that come along with them. Notifications are short messages about activities that may be of interest to you. Go to Settings to adjust what notifications you receive.

Here are the 3 notifications associated with the 3 favorite types:

1. Favorite Notecard Set - You will be notified if one of your favorite notecard sets is edited
2. Favorite Book - You will be notified if a notecard set is added to one of your favorite books
3. Favorite Member - You will be notified is one of your favorite members creates a new notecard set

Favorites is another way Easy Notecards saves you valuable time and energy.
