Learn the features and best practices from the Pear Deck pros.Ĥ. Pear Deck offers teachers free webinars on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11 a.m. Students can even help you illustrate flashcards with the “Flashcard Factory.”ģ. (It’s part of the free plan!) It integrates with Quizlet and Merriam-Webster to create lists in a snap. Do vocabulary the Pear Deck way. Check out “Pear Deck Vocabulary” for an interactive way to do flashcards with your students. For instance, instead of a simple happy/sad face to ask students how they feel, add emojis or memes!Ģ. Customize the slide library. Use the pre-designed slides by Pear Deck, but add your own customizations. (via Pear Deck) See more in this How Science Teachers Use Pear Deck document.ġ. Ask students to enter the number in a number slide. Count the number of forces on the object in a diagram like the one below. Ask students to use the highlighter to highlight an example and the text box to explain why they picked that example.ġ7. Display a short passage of text with a drawing slide (premium). See how in this How ELA Teachers Use Pear Deck document.ġ6. Teach grammar with draggable icons (premium) by displaying a paragraph and having students identify different parts of it. Here are some Pear Deck math templates to give you more ideas.ġ5. Teach coordinate graphs with draggable dots (premium) and a coordinate plane. Get students interacting with literature, art and music from the Romantic Era (via Pear Deck).ġ4. Helping students understand Anglo Saxon poetry with thought-provoking guided questions (via Melissa Pilakowski).ġ3. Teach parabolas / quadratics using Super Mario Bros. Pear Deck has some great users doing very cool things, too! Here are some from their great library of examples from the classroom …ġ1. Create a new drawing slide (premium) to add text … or, use a text slide to have students write what they would put on the ad.Have students add text to the slide to create a compelling ad based on what you’ve learned. Create an advertisement. You add an image or two to a slide. Create a new drawing slide (premium) to draw labels … or, put numbers on your image where you want students to label and have them label with a text slide.ġ0.Label a diagram. Add an image of the diagram (without labels) on the slide.
Predict what happens next in a video or a story. Show a short video clip or an image … or stop in the middle of a story in class.ĩ. List the items on the slide and have students write them out in the correct order.Ĩ. Have students put items in order (chronological, sequential, etc.).
(A focus on the process can illuminate student understanding better than an answer many times.) Ask students to describe their thinking process instead of providing the answer. Ask students to create a new ending/outcome for something you’ve studied that day.Ħ.
Retell what you’ve learned that day in your own words. Use the mind map slide in the “During lesson” slide library.Ĥ.Draw out a mind map to diagram what you’ve been studying. You can reword the draggable agree/disagree slide in the “During lesson” slide library.ģ.(This sure beats raising hands, where you don’t always get honest answers. Ask students if they’re ready to move on with a multiple choice question. Use the text slide in the “Beginning of class” slide library.Ģ.(You might be surprised what they already know … or what they don’t know!) Ask students what they already know about the topic with a text question. On most of these, I’ll default to the free question types (and will note which ones require a premium account). Here are a bunch of ideas, from the basic to the geeky. The next step - let’s get students connected to it so they can interact! at the end of the lesson (retell what they learned, share feelings).during the lesson (summarize, assess learning, gauge understanding).for the beginning of a lesson (check prior knowledge, ask what students are curious about).Pear Deck has a slide library where you can choose pre-created activities … drag an icon to a specific part of the slide (premium only).Some of the options include having students … The bonus with Pear Deck: You can turn any of those slides into interactive slides. (You can do all of this at with PowerPoint slides, too.) Then, use the sidebar menu to add interactive elements to each slide. If you’re using Google Slides, just create the slides that you want to display to your students.
