SmartHebrewFlashcards for Android

11 things about SmartHebrewFlashcards

1. The Director of Religious Education (who has come to numerous classes where the app has been used) says, “The Sunday School kids need to learn what the prayers and Jewish holiday words mean--and so do I! But there was nothing that suited our needs, so this one was developed.

2. Kids love it so much that a group of 5th grade Sunday School students came to an extra class every Tuesday evening for six months to play the game and help develop it.

3. Smart Hebrew Flashcards is an app written by an experienced Sunday School Hebrew Teacher to make learning Hebrew more fun for all students.

4. During five years of teaching Hebrew, the App’s creator discovered that students LOVED flash cards more than any other part of the class.

5. “Smart Hebrew Flashcards” are “Smart” because the Progress screen shows exactly how students are doing on particular words, and perhaps more importantly, how much time they spend on a particular word.

6. During this past two years, the class couldn’t play a physical flashcard game, so the Sunday School teacher searched for suitable flashcard games online.

7. So given that the Sunday School teacher is also a computer science professor, he created an app, and started teaching his Sunday School students online.

8. During the testing period, a class of 5th grade students have been relentless with software requirements.

9. Bar/Bat Mitzvah students get a head start by learning some Biblical Hebrew.

10. The app has been used the last six months by a 5th grade class, with no extra setup by the teacher.

11. For the last month, I have been practicing 6 days a week for 5-10 minutes, and I know a lot of words in the prayers and songs now.
