PearDeck
What is PearDeck?
PearDeck is a Google Slides add-on that makes Slides interactive. Teachers can request that students respond to questions or have a discussion right in PearDeck, allowing for formative assessment.
How do I access PearDeck?
Teachers will need to create their own PearDeck account and install it in Google Chrome first.
Students do not need to have a PearDeck account but rather will join a PearDeck presentation with a code sent by their teacher.
