Peardeck
Spice Up Your Slides
Pear Deck is an interactive presentation tool that allows teachers to create engaging and interactive lessons that can be delivered in real-time to their students. With Pear Deck, teachers can create presentations that incorporate interactive questions, polls, and quizzes that students can respond to using their own devices.
As a teacher, you can use Pear Deck to:
Engage students in real-time: Pear Deck allows you to engage your students in real-time by incorporating interactive questions and activities into your presentation. Students can respond to your questions using their own devices, giving you valuable insights into their understanding of the material.
Customize your presentations: Pear Deck allows you to customize your presentations with a range of interactive elements, including multiple-choice questions, open-ended questions, polls, and quizzes.
Monitor student progress: Pear Deck allows you to monitor your students' progress in real-time, giving you valuable insights into their understanding of the material. You can use this feedback to adjust your teaching to better meet the needs of your students.
Facilitate classroom discussions: Pear Deck allows you to facilitate classroom discussions by asking students to respond to open-ended questions or by using the "drag and drop" feature to organize ideas.
Provide feedback: Pear Deck allows you to provide feedback to your students in real-time, giving them immediate feedback on their responses to your questions and activities.
