My Project

Pear Deck will make a great difference in my student's learning. It facilitates real-time engagement with interactive questions, polls, and collaborative activities, empowering students to take ownership of their learning journey. It allows teachers to design interactive presentations and engage students in learning through multiple choice questions, drag-and-drop and text-based prompts, drawing, interactive maps, and more. Teachers can create their own presentation slides or rely on Pear Deck lesson templates. Pear Deck can be used to enrich and support student learning, both asynchronously and synchronously. Students can use Pear Deck slides to learn at their own pace, or they can follow along with an instructor-driven lesson. Teachers can get instant feedback on the effectiveness of their lessons by using the dashboard and session review capabilities within PearDeck. Teachers can make student answers anonymous in order to encourage even the shiest of students to participate. Teachers can also share students’ answers with the class to extend the lesson. With the premium subscription, Pear Deck provides a lot of templates to use before, during, and after a lesson. All of these amazing tools will only help my students and increase their engagement and learning.
