Creating Your Own Flash Card Sets:

There are sets on subjects such as math, science, and geography. To start creating your own set of flashcards, click on the word “Create” within the blue banner.
- After clicking “Create”, the next page will show your “Dashboard”, where you will find all of the FlashBulbs you have created. The picture below is an example of a dashboard with a few set flashcards created.
- To start a new FlashBulb, click “Create new FlashBulb” in the top right corner. This will allow you to name your flashcard set, give it a description, and put it into a category, such as Geography, Psychology, or Math. Here is an example:
- Once you have named your new FlashBulb, given it a description, and given it a category, click on the tab next to “Settings”, called “Data”. The “Data” tab will allow you to enter the terms and definitions that you want to put into your FlashBulb.
- Once you have typed all of the terms and definitions into your FlashBulb, click on the box that says “Save Changes”. A yellow bar should appear that says “Your changes have been saved”.
