Hi Andrew,
My name is Sue Ann and I work for a company called Study Mode, Inc. We recently launched FlashcardExchange.com, which is a site that helps students quickly memorize historical information, languages, and anything else using online flashcards. I think FlashcardExchange.com could be very helpful to your students. Would you mind adding a link to our site on the page where you listed other similar resources (see link below)?
