I wanted to share some tips about using Pear Deck Vocabulary (aka: Flashcard Factory). To begin, here is a blog post I’ve previously published on Creative Ways to Use Pear Deck Vocabulary in a Variety of Classrooms.
In today’s post, I want to share a video walkthrough where I take you through:
- the process of creating a vocabulary set in Pear Deck
- launching Flashcard Factory in the classroom for students to play in teams (showing both the teacher & student view)
- the quality control phase where you can accept/reject terms as a class to review and talk about all submissions
- how to export the final set
- all new export options: printable flashcards or share to Gimkit
- includes a quick breakdown of how to copy/edit in Gimkit, flip terms/definitions that were imported, and what the set looks like from the student end
- all new export options: printable flashcards or share to Gimkit
