Pear Deck takes slide-based presentations to a new level of interactivity and engagement by letting students join in. It is a digital tool that teachers can use to create and present material to the class on the Promethean Board, while students can follow along on their personal devices, and interact and give feedback when invited to. Pear Deck allows teachers to see the student slide decks live, so they can see the students participating in real time.

Edpuzzle is an easy-to-use platform where you can make any video your lesson. With just one click, you can find video lessons created by other teachers, including formative assessment! Another click and you can adapt that video by embedding your own questions or audio. Teachers can upload their own videos, add URLs, or search the built-in content library (including YouTube videos and filters for Khan Academy, TED, National Geographic, and more).

Notability is a note-taking app that allows you to take notes, annotate PDFs and photos, collect student work, and capture voice recordings. It’s the perfect app for practicing literacy skills and a fabulous digital alternative for paper-and-pencil activities. When paired with classroom Apple TV’s, teachers are able to move around the classroom, and work in the teacher “power zone”, while still being able to annotate on the Promethean Board. Notability can also help improve your classroom management and create opportunities for immediate feedback to the students.
