How to Make Index Cards Online
Index cards are small, rectangular cards--usually 3-by-5 inches or 4-by-6 inches--that you can use for a number of purposes. One of the most common ways people use index cards is as a study tool--these are known as "flashcards." For example, if you're studying French, you might write "red" on one side of a flashcard and "rouge" on the other. Whether you want to save paper or you prefer typing to writing longhand, making flashcards online is straightforward.
