Our beer style flashcards include basic information about the beer styles tested on the Certified Beer Server exam. Each card features a brief style history, expected flavor notes, and quantitative values alongside a photo of the proper glassware for the style.

Ideally, I would like to have all in a row. However, only 3 currently fit in a row and the 4th is left dangling in the center of the second row. How can I move the 3rd flashcard to the second row so they look balanced?

Sold a set of addition/subtraction flash cards. I researched media mail using the USPS site and it appears that even though this is educational material it is not a chart and thus is not medial mail eligible. In addition, eBay blocks media mail as a shipping option. So, I did mail it out USPS priority mail. Here is the question, I saw that the Pitney Bowes mailing site specifically states that flash cards are media mail eligible. In looking into this I noticed that Amazon does not permit Flash cards to be sent media and there is a response from a USPS letter carrier on a message board and his/her response was " no flash cards are not eligible."

Items do not have to be bound (like books) in order to be eligible for MM. Eligible items include CDs, DVDs, reference charts, even player-piano rolls. Here's the section of the Domestic Mail Manual which gives details about eligibility:

Hi @nobody*s_perfect thank you for the callout and for providing the USPS references. We will update Media Mail eligible categories to include categories that flash cards are likely to be listed in e.g. Toys & Hobbies: Educational and Everything Else: Education & Learning leaf categories with our next update which will be live within the next 30 days. I will follow up here to confirm once the update has been applied.

Dear Nobody's Perfect - Thank you so much!!!! Not only did you answer the question posed with the link source to confirm the information, you also settled a debate in our household and even better your effort paid off in eBay's modifying their eligible Media Mail categories. BRAVO and much appreciated. Your assistance is exactly what makes the eBay boards a valuable source of information. Again, Thank You.

The individual postal employee does not necessarily know exactly what is media mail. I was mailing 35mm slides and the postal employee said I could have sent them media mail, but the rules specifically state 16mm or less.

Thanks for understanding!

Physical Therapy Students
Students should strive to retain essential academic content as they progress through a physical therapist academic program. Periodic review of this information is often necessary to accomplish this goal. The flash cards provide students with a portable resource that can be used intermittently while on campus or in the clinical setting.

Recent Physical Therapy Graduates
Recent graduates need to have full command of essential academic content in order to successfully pass the NPTE-PT. Although academic content alone will not be sufficient to pass the NPTE-PT, it provides graduates with a strong foundation to make informed clinical decisions on applied examination questions.

Licensed Physical Therapists
Physical therapists need to retain essential academic content. Therapists often work in specialized practice settings and therefore may infrequently utilize academic knowledge in selected system and non-system areas. As a result, periodic review is often required to maintain necessary mastery of this material.

As part of our ongoing work to strengthen our support for communities, the trustees and staff of the Otto Bremer Trust engaged in a series of learning seminars on evaluation. In order to make the core concepts easily accessible and retrievable, we asked Michael Quinn Patton, who led these seminars, to create a set of basic reference cards.

Maybe you've been using Alteryx for a long, long time. Or maybe you're like me - relatively new to the tool and doing everything you can to learn all the things. After passing the Designer Core certification and setting my sights on prepping for the Designer Advanced, I realized one of the things limiting me is that there are so many tools at my disposal that I simply don't get exposed to.

Yes, absolutely, the weekly challenges are fantastic for learning and practicing new tools - but if you're challenging yourself to complete those challenges without looking at others' solutions first, it may not stick quite the same way.

I'm a more systematic learner so I wanted a way to work through all of the tools and be able to (1) recognize them visually by their icon alone, and (2) know at least the base level description for each tool across the platform. So I kicked it old school and threw together some flash cards for tools in Alteryx Designer.

If you print two-sided the cards' front and back should automatically align. Print them out on some cardstock and you've got some nice flash cards you can use personally or share with your team!

P.P.S. - If anyone is aware of an already existing set of these, feel free to point them out -- I looked and had seen where a small set was created a few years ago but not in the format I was looking for with the icon on one side and name/palette/description on the other.

Justin, these are really quite a resource - thank you! Have you considered creating an electronic version on an app like Quizlet? If you have the definition data in a structured format, it would be quick work using Quizlet's import tool. I can't do it quickly with the PDF version, otherwise would've and shared it here.

@aRiverathat's a good idea! To compile these I pulled the tool descriptions from each palette's overview in the Alteryx Designer help documentation. If it would be helpful I can send you the Word document that generated the PDF.

I've ported this resource made by @justindavis over to the website/mobile app Quizlet, so now folks have two options for this study set. The terms included are the same, but note that the Quizlet version has a slightly different format: Name of the tool is on side 1, and the tool image and description are together on side 2.

Math teachers debate the best way to make multiplication automatic. Some educators argue against drills and say fluency will develop with everyday usage. Others insist that schools should devote time to helping children memorize times tables.

When the teachers moved on to multiplication by fours, the groups switched. The chanters quizzed themselves with flashcards, and the flashcard kids started chanting. All the students practiced memorizing both ways.

Many experiments have shown that retrieval practice produces better long-term memories than studying. Flashcards are one way to try retrieval practice. Quizzes are another option because they also require students to retrieve new information from memory. Indeed, many teachers opt for speed drills, asking students to race through a page of multiplication problems in a minute.

This story about multiplication flashcards was written by Jill Barshay and produced by The Hechinger Report, a nonprofit, independent news organization focused on inequality and innovation in education. Sign up for the Hechinger newsletter.

The Hechinger Report provides in-depth, fact-based, unbiased reporting on education that is free to all readers. But that doesn't mean it's free to produce. Our work keeps educators and the public informed about pressing issues at schools and on campuses throughout the country. We tell the whole story, even when the details are inconvenient. Help us keep doing that.

At The Hechinger Report, we publish thoughtful letters from readers that contribute to the ongoing discussion about the education topics we cover. Please read our guidelines for more information. We will not consider letters that do not contain a full name and valid email address. You may submit news tips or ideas here without a full name, but not letters.

When it says they practiced their flashcards, did they do it in on their own or with a partner? Would it be ok to do this every day instead of 3 times a week, or does that not improve the outcome? Thanks in advance for clarifying.


I've really enjoyed Leap Frog's educational DVDs, mainly the Letter Factory that teach sounds each letter makes .I've been looking online for flashcards that coordinate with the alphabet characters in the DVD for a while, and couldn't find any, so made some myself.
So far they've been great, and I was actually surprised how many sounds my son knew from watching the DVDs. I think having the cards with the same clues helps him, and it's nice to review the same clues he's already familiar--not having to watch TV to do so. It seems like he learns a lot more using the cards, since he has to recall info rather than just watch the DVD, but it's fun to have both that reinforce one another.
My mom gave us the Leap Frog DVDs for his 2nd birthday, but I saw them at Costco for $5.99 the other day. So if you would like some ABC Flash cards to go with the Leap Frog sound clues, I'm sharing the ones I made!**Keep in mind I just sketched them so take them for what they are--home made by a non-artist mom.**
Here's links to print your cards:
(I recommend you print them on card stock for durability)Plain cards so you or your kids can color them:Print Black and White cards to color yourselfOr if you don't want to color, save time by using these:
Print Colored cards here

I did try in the sketch to emphasize the actual shape of the letter rather than all the clue crap around them, by drawing the letter in bold marker.
Here's my add-ons once you've printed them off, colored them if you chose that route, and cut them apart.
1. Backed them with scrapbook paper.Just cut 4"x4" squares, and used glue sticks to attach them on the backs of the cards.
2. Printed uppercase and lowercase letters on address labels.I wanted to have just the printed letters on the back, so as he gets better at knowing his sounds, I can easily flip the cards, to test his knowledge of the actual text letters, rather than the cartoon clues. Eventually just using the text backs when he's learned them all, but having the clues for reminders.So I just printed them out and stuck them on, you could obviously print letters on regular paper and glue them on too.
4. Laminated for durabilityI looked into having these laminated at office stores. But it is expensive! $3.00 per square foot, or buy many 8 1/2" x 11" sleeves for $2.00 each.I found this laminator at Costco for $18.99, and it included 100 laminating sleeves.So I decided it was worth it to just get the equipment, since one set of cards would have cost around $15.00 anyway.
It's really easy, I used the 4x6" sleeves for these cards.Just slip in the card, put it in the machine, and it comes out great!
(I did have to trim the extra plastic on the bottoms)
After everything was done, I thought it would have been smart to have used a different, bright plain color on the back of the vowel cards. Then when he's just practicing with the text letters, those would stand out as different. It was too late on mine, but maybe an idea as you cut the paper on the back of your cards.I just bundle the pack with a rubber band to keep them together for now, and they've been great having to wait at doctor's offices, and the post office. They fit in my purse, so I keep them there and just grab a few while we're waiting. They're still new and fun right now, so this entertainment may not last as long as I hope.I also thought it would be a good idea for a gift to give the DVD with a set of these flashcards. Anyway, enjoy!
