Dingbats are innovative interactive flashcards designed to enhance student learning by focusing on key terms and facts. They transform the often solitary process of revision into a dynamic and enjoyable social experience, encouraging students to collaborate, engage in teamwork, and participate in peer assessment. This approach makes the learning process more engaging and effective at both KS3 and KS4. Regular use of Dingbats, alongside strategies outlined in the accompanying PowerPoint, significantly improves memory retention while helping students build essential connections for success in assessments and exams, particularly on topics like the Norman Conquest. These flashcards are versatile learning tools that can be utilised as starter activities, serving as a fun game at the beginning of a lesson or as a mini plenary to assess understanding and reinforce learning. They can easily be incorporated into revision booklets or printed on cards for convenient storage in students’ pockets or envelopes. Additionally, students can use the flashcards independently for personal revision.
