I just stumbled upon FunnelBrain.com and I would recommend that every educator at least look at this site. According to their site, they are a "site that provides an environment for team based learning and multi-media flashcards".
On FunnelBrain, you can create online flashcards for students or they can create their own and share them with their friends. Flashcards are a good way to study, but I always find them laying in the hall. I like to think that they are laying in the hall AFTER the students have used them properly. Online flashcards cannot be lost in the hall and students don't have to remember to take them home. All they have to do is access a web address, which you can post on a wiki or convert to a tinyURL.
You can enter simple text questions or you can add video, audio, photos, or math formulas. The only additional thing I would like to see is a way to easily embed your flashcards into a blog or wiki.
You can see the sample deck I made here.
Or, you can watch the demo videos here.

Reading these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is ever-present in this day and age, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.
