Imagine every single kid in class raising their hand, participating in discussions, taking risks and offering answers in front of their peers. Sound impossible?

Teachers at 1 out of 3 schools in the United States use Pear Deck to connect with every student, every day. Pear Deck makes it easy to add formative assessments and interactive activities to presentations, transforming devices from distractions into tools for classroom connection. Plan your questions ahead of time or add questions on the fly during class time.

There’s no need to create or buy new lessons, you can start with your existing PowerPoint lessons and plan your questions ahead of time or add questions on the fly during class time. During a Pear Deck Session, students feel responsible for participating and safe responding because they know that you’ll see their answers, but their work will be anonymous when shared with the class.

Here’s how Pear Deck works:

Design a new presentation or open an existing PowerPoint file.

With the Add-in enabled, add interactive questions to your presentation directly from the Pear Deck Sidebar.

When you’re ready, Present with Pear Deck to have students join your class session from any device with a web browser.

As you progress through the lesson, you’ll see every student respond to your questions in real-time. Instantly you’ll know who’s with you, and who needs more time.
