Math in a Flash© a New Tool for Elementary Students, is On-line Despite Impossible Odds

December 10, 2003

Anna, Texas, GLAD Private School created a flashcard program using PowerPoint®. On-line viewing was not possible,PowerPoint® did not work in the browsers. GLAD beat the odds, and put this teachers aid




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 10, 2003 -- Other programmers insisted that converting to another program was the only way. The conversion started but at the same time the struggle continued to make PowerPoint® work on the web. After months of failures it not only succeeded, but it is also compatible with both Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer.



The accomplishment may not be the greatest ever, but it can make a difference. Programs like this one could not be found. Most of the sites were shipping paper deck cards, some of the sites had on-line programs, they were good, but they were keeping score of how well you can add. Math in a Flash© focuses on memorizing the math equations.



Easy to follow menus take you through the 1600 card collection. Animated images are used in level one to represent the equations. Level two lets the user see the equation without the answer and will show the answer on a mouse click. It advances to the next card with another click. Level three offers a choice of automatic answers, 3 or 5 seconds and will advance to next card with a click. Levels two and three prompt students to say the equations as they see them, so they can hear themselves say it, to reinforce memory.



The world wide web is an efficient way to market this type of product. Users can access what they need as they need it without having to store it. Everyone can appreciate cutting down on the pollution associated with manufacturing and distribution of product. Perhaps there are others who need to implement this type of application for the programs they produce.



They said it couldn’t be done and it was almost canned, but fortunately, this PowerPoint® presentation is running on-line in a subscription website. Math in a Flash© combines the proven flashcard method of learning with a simple, non-gender flash design. Future projects include other flashcard programs, puzzles and storybooks. For businesses like SchoolhouseFlash©, on-line viewing..."Puts the Cards Back in the Box".
