Flash Cards: The Easy Way To Teach, Learn On A Mac.
As we get older, learning seems to get tougher. When we were children, how did we learn? Flash cards?

I would also like to suggest Cram for Mac for studying with flashcards on your Mac. Cram also has the option to prepare for tests with multiple choice testing and syncs with your Mac.

Editor’s Note: Cram for Mac is a decent Mac app. There’s even an iPhone version.

I’m the developer of Mental Case (http://www.macflashcards.com), a relatively new flash card application for Mac and iPhone.
It allows you to create and print flash cards, and transfer them to an iPhone or iPod touch. But it also has advanced features, like a lesson that is built up using the spaced-repetition algorithm. Mental Case is more than just a flash card app, it’s more like a personal tutor.
Best of all: it’s free for teachers, and there is a 30-day free trial for everyone else.
If you are looking for a Mac flash card app, please give Mental Case a look.

Both Cram for Mac and Mental Case are worth a look. Flash cards are a tried and true way to learn. Putting them on a Mac just makes learning easier. And digital.
