What if my students are not consistently available or engaging with remote learning during the daytime?

Fear not! Rather than have a teacher-led session, you can also assign Pear Decks as student-paced lessons. This is useful for remote learning because students can choose when to complete the work, and it stays "open" for as long as you want so students can easily makeup work even weeks later.

A student-paced session is a useful differentiation tool in both a traditional classroom setting and remote learning. By letting students work at a pace that is appropriate for them your lower students will have the time they need to work through questions, while your higher students move on to more challenging problems. You can also include additional resources (videos, notes, graphic organizers, etc) that your lower students can access and higher students can skip through.

Teachers can keep the Dashboard open on their computer to make sure students are completing their work and to check in with students who might be stuck on a problem.
