content on overhead projectors. They allow
annotations and on-the-spot explanations.
● Creating Transparencies: Print or
write content on transparent sheets,
and use markers to highlight or clarify

theme, use visuals and minimal text,
and ensure readability from a
distance.

students. They can include summaries,
diagrams, or additional resources for further
exploration.
● Designing Handouts: Keep them
concise.
● Use bullet points.
● Provide sources for deeper
understanding.

11. The Compact 'Flash Card'
Flash cards are excellent for learning and
revising vocabulary, concepts, or equations.
They promote active recall and self-
assessment.
● Crafting Flash Cards: Write a question
or term on one side and its answer or
explanation on the other.

12. Flash Card
Flashcards are small cards with information
on both sides. They are used for quick
review, vocabulary building, and
concept reinforcement. Flashcards

slideshows that combine text, images,
and multimedia elements. They are
