what is peardeck?

Put inquiry at the center of your lesson and create self-motivated learners. Ask questions that spark curiosity and challenge intuition instead of just delivering facts.

Pear Deck aims to help teachers efficiently understand individual students’ progress in the classroom. Teachers create a presentation, or “Pear Deck,” in their Google Drive; students interact individually with questions within the Pear Deck while teachers monitor both individual and class progress.

Pear Deck is available in free and paid versions.
