Pear Deck Flashcard Factory (change)
The option to Export Pear Deck Flashcards to Quizlet ended December 05, 2019 (Blog Link). Another option is to export your Flashcard Factory set to Gimkit. Gimkit is a game show for the classroom. New Gimkit users need to create a free Gimkit account to play. But when you publish a set to Gimkit, it lives in the Pear Deck account, and you can always come back and play for free! However, if you copy a set to a personal Gimkit account, it counts toward your quota of 5 kits on the Gimkit Free plan. Video Tutorial LINK.
