Flashcard Factory
Flashcard Factory places a unique twist on vocabulary flashcards. Teachers start by creating the vocabulary list with definitions. Once shared with the students, they begin to create the flashcards for the vocabulary words by writing sentence and creating illustrations. Once teacher approved, the class can immediately reviews the vocabulary cards and the teacher can print them for future use or export them to Gimkit!
Flashcard Factory is located in your Pear Deck Launchpad!
