I started using Desmos during the pandemic. Desmos is a completely free platform similar in some ways to PearDeck, but for designed for math and science teachers.
While I believe there are many benefits for students and teachers who use Desmos, I'm flexible to the needs of my school and students.

Polygraph is a partnered guessing game, designed to foster the pleasure and power of words, and develop informal language into formal vocabulary. Each round, players are matched into pairs, and assigned ‘Picker’ and ‘Guesser’ roles. The Picker selects a card; the Guesser asks yes/no questions for the Picker to answer in order to narrow the field of cards down to one.
The Teacher can see at a glance if students haven't responded to a question.
When students are on during class, the teacher can see what slide they're looking at and can restrict slides.
The teacher can see what students are writing live and can give feedback to individual or groups of students.
A teacher can also choose student grouping for remediation based on Desmos data.
