Pear Deck allows you to turn your regular presentation slide deck into an interactive lesson by adding short answer text, multiples choice, drag, and draw questions directly onto your slides for students to engage with in real time.

In this session we'll walk through many ways to increase engagement with Slides and a brief overview on setting up Pear Deck, best practices for online use, and resources for success.
