Pear Deck for Educators
What is Pear Deck?
Pear Deck is a student engagement and assessment platform for SLZUSD educators that turns existing presentation materials into active learning tools. Use these tools to give meaningful feedback to students.
How Pear Deck Works
Pear Deck lets teachers:
- Build interactive lessons using tools like PowerPoint and Google Slides
- See student work and responses as they’re working, enabling teachers to adjust the lesson or answer questions
- Receive questions or feedback from students that they may have been too afraid to ask in front of the class
- Ask students about their thoughts and feelings in a safe, one-on-one channel
- Share student contributions anonymously for group discussion
