If you are looking to use Pear Deck in an asynchronous class setting, you can find more information about Pear Deck's Student-Paced Mode in this video: ruclips.net/video/4HdjITTQrn4/видео.html
I am 51, my principal is new and 60.. We are both panicking about using Google this year. Love this and I can teach him this so "he" can teach the other teachers.
You are great because you made it simple to understand. You speak normal unlike some other instructors who play it up and babble. You were actully better then my staff development, thank you!
@@StaceyRoshan guess what, I just facilitated a two hour training class using Pear Deck and G Slides. And the class loved it! that's all that's to your tutorial. :)
I'm so happy to hear you found my video helpful! Pear Deck is one of my favorite things, so feel free to reach out as you explore if a question comes up. Have fun!
I don’t know how I’d do virtual synchronous sessions without Pear Deck! It’s such a game changer in terms of still being able to engage all and keep the focus on talking about student work. Glad this helped!
This was a super helpful starter tutorial/refresher for me! It was very clear, concise, and will definitely help me with mastering how to utilize Pear Deck. Thank you!
This is a great presentation. I'm hoping to use Pear Deck to teach principles of design, like focal points and symmetrical/asymmetrical balance. This looks perfect! Thanks for creating these videos. I've been watching your stuff all morning.
Dukk_Dodgers I’m so glad you found my channel and that it’s helping as you design awesome lessons for your students! Feel free to reach out if I can help at all, or to share feedback after you’ve used in class!
Nice tutorial BUT for some reason when I go back to add ons after installing the item - there is no Pear Deck menu like at 0:36. Is there a new tutorial that shows what to do if this happens? (I've already tried re-installing but that changed nothing. Thanks.
@@StaceyRoshan Thanks for your reply. I used grandma's classic home remedy. Software update and restarted my computer. It works now, of course. But 45 min of my life gone. Lol
Thanks a lot! It's good that it shows their responses. Could we see which of the student responded as in their names? If not Pear Deck, any other that can record their responses? Thanks!
Yes, if you have the premium version of Pear Deck, all of that information is available in the teacher dashboard. Here are more tips on that: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html
Hi Kimberly - yes, if you have a paid Pear Deck account, you can see names attached in the "teacher dashboard." I explain more in this video: ruclips.net/video/S8sINqbE-wI/видео.html. I hope that helps.
Absolutely! I've been teaching a purely online course for the last several years and rely on Pear Deck for all synchronous sessions. You can see Pear Deck + Zoom in action during this webinar I recently did: ruclips.net/video/1JLkhSGeo78/видео.html. Just think of the "projector" in your classroom as the "screen share" in Zoom :)
@@StaceyRoshan Is it possible to have 2 "screens" open at the same time on zoom so you have the projector/zoom screen and also the presenter screen that only you see?
@@ashleyarrastia1652 Yes, you can choose to do a screen share in Zoom with just one window so that students will just see the projector screen even though you also have the teacher dashboard up.
Stacey - I was talking to a few math teachers about my use of Peardeck this summer and they asked how the students did writing formulas? Made me thing of microeconomics and how I will have more formulas than graphs this year compared to Macro this summer. From your experience, were your students able to easily write formulas on pear deck slides or did they do this in a different way? Like for AP Calc FRQs?
All of my online students had a Wacom tablet at home... so they used that to draw with an actual pen. I don't have a great answer when students don't have that added technology available other than to draw with a mouse or type the best they can (I don't have them use equation editors because I just find it's too time consuming and not optimal)
Thank you, Brad! I use Camtasia to record & edit all my videos. Here's a video where I talk through all the tools I use to make my math flipped classroom videos if you're interested in that: ruclips.net/video/uHfGqfKlx4s/видео.html

Again, thanks for the info!
Thanks so much for showing both sides of Pear Deck. You are the only one out there doing that. Thanks so, SO much. But Help! At 6:05 did you say joinapedia.com? What's that? I hadn't heard about this part of Pear Deck

Hello, Stacey. Thank you for taking the time to create this tutorial. I have a few questions. How would this work in secondary ed. for teachers with multiple classes? Will I have to open it multiple times or can one pear deck be used for all classes? This is my only plight with Nearpod. Also, if you do not finish the Peardeck, can the information be saved and revisited another day picking up where you left off?
Hi, Harrell. In this video, I talk about launching Pear Deck for multiple sections of students: ruclips.net/video/6tjjIO438ec/видео.html. You just create the one Google Slides and launch a session for each section to keep responses separated. To answer your second question: yes, answers are automatically saved (on the student view and on the teacher view). Simply have students go back to the Pear Deck link and all answers are always there & editable until you close the session. You can have multiple sessions open at the same time, no problem at all!
Hey Stacey! Hope your first quarter is going well! Peardeck has been awesome with my classes. Is there a way to look at student work from student paced mode without ending the session and publishing takeaways? Thanks!
Hope things are going well on your end, also! I'm so happy to hear that Pear Deck has been awesome with your classes! Yes, you can look at student work by opening the "teacher dashboard." This video should break that down a bit better: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html
Lourdes Garcia Larque just the teacher needs the add-on to create. Students then just log into the Pear Deck by typing the join code into their browser.
Absolutely, I use Pear Deck in most of my Zoom sessions! I talk more about that topic in this webinar if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/1JLkhSGeo78/видео.html
Is it free to use? Because I remember I used it once and it said I had to pay to use it so I uninstalled it. Maybe they've changed it now, but I'd love to know if indeed you have to pay or is it all free. Thanks for bringing some interaction to presentations and teaching it to us, Stacey!
Hi Veronica - Pear Deck is offering free licenses for all right now: www.peardeck.com/stay-connected. Usually, they have a free option and a premium option. Premium includes things like the teacher dashboard, draggable & drawing slide types, etc. But for now, you can access everything by filling out the form. Hope that helps!
Hi Amanda - I am on Premium. The features like drawing slide type and draggable slide types are premium features. Here is a more complete pricing breakdown: www.peardeck.com/pricing
Thank you for sharing this but I have question Do students must downlod pear deck as well? Or they just need to visit the website? & They can move to next question or you control this by the presentation ?
Hi Tima - students do not need to download anything. They just go to joinpd.com and type in the code that you give them (or you can share the join link directly with them). When you launch the Pear Deck, you can choose "instructor paced," where you control the pace of the slides or "student paced," where students can move between questions on their own. Here is a tutorial on using the student-paced mode: ruclips.net/video/4HdjITTQrn4/видео.html
Jermaine Jennings glad this helped! To find individual student responses, you want to go to the Teacher Dashboard. I have a video on that here: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html (Note: once you are in the Teacher Dashboard, if you’re looking at a draggable slide, for instance, you can change to “list” view to see a slide with each student’s response or you can hover over the dot in “overlaid” view to see the student name)
Hello. Thank you for the tutorial. With distance learning. Do you set a time when all students "come to class" and log in to the platform? Or is this something they can do on their won time?
Pear Deck also has a student-paced mode. Here is more about that: ruclips.net/video/4HdjITTQrn4/видео.html But at my school, we are still having students join us for class on Google Meet so I am using Pear Deck to engage the class as I would face-to-face. The only difference is instead of a classroom projector, it is my screen share in Google Meet.
Michael Sinclair with a paid plan, you get access to the teacher dashboard in Pear Deck with all names attached to responses. You’d just log into the session to access that data. There is also an option to export answers to google sheets
Hey Stacy, I can't figure out how to share results with students who are not present (It only showed on the instructors screen so I presume that would be where sharing your screen in Zoom or Google Meet comes into play) and there doesn't seem to be anyway to have a correct answer available to students for them to check themselves. Any recommendations there? The "recommendations" bit just gave me a copy of each student's slide file with their answer. Can I just get a set of data altogether that I can show to students or comment on later?
Hi Tressa. Good questions and I have a couple of thoughts! One is that you can use the Student-Paced Mode if you want students to complete the Pear Deck outside of class. This will not show them the correct answer, though you could build that into the next slide so that they can self-correct as they go. Assuming you are using the Premium version and integrating with Google, the other thing I often do is simply share the "blank Takeaway" that is automatically generated when I publish student takeaways after a lesson. For absent students, you can ask them to file > make a copy of the google doc and fill out the answers in the right column by typing. Back to the topic of providing an answer key so students can self-correct, here is a video where I talk about how I do that: ruclips.net/video/uhxRIJLljY0/видео.html
They log in separately by going to joinpd.com and typing in the join code based on the presentation you're asking them to join (you can also provide them a link to the individual presentation).
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! Does this work the same way if you present while sharing your screen on zoom? will students will be able to interact via zoom or how do they have to log in into joinpd.com??? Thank you again
Yes, you can by going to peardeck.com and clicking the sessions tab. If you have a paid account, then you can see student names attached in the Teacher Dashboard. This video should help: ruclips.net/video/YwXTg6EbHfw/видео.html
Hi Stacey, may I check with you for the MCQ questions, how could we show students the correct answer? Is there anywhere that we can pre-set the answer?
There is not a way to pre-set answers or give automated student feedback in Pear Deck. I wonder if that will be coming soon with more people using their Student-Paced Mode...
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I'm a Chinese Language teacher, would like to check with you is there any way to present the slides directly through Google Slides so the Chinese font and Hanyu Pinyin won't have any issue?
Hi Stacey, thanks again for your videos - I am getting ready to teach summer school and have pear decked out my slides :) I am using a second device and joined my own session to see the student grid while I am presenting on my main laptop. Question - when the students joinpd, they should really watch THAT screen right? Rather than watching my google meet presentation and then clicking over to answer on the join pd tab? What I noticed is that the join pd screen is way delayed compared to my clicking through the presentation so I wonder if I will always move faster than they are seeing? Should they instead watch the google meet window that seems to move faster? But then my face is taking up a big chunk of the screen instead of seeing my slides nice and big on the join pd screen. Maybe it's really a wifi issue on my part for the delay?
possibly nevermind! :) I just logged on as my daughter and the join pd screen was not delayed. So maybe it was because I had it open twice under the same account. Regardless, the second screen is to see my students and the chat in a separate window, so I think it works for me then.
Great questions! I haven't experienced much delay, so I'll start there. Students need to move back and forth between the two screens - they'll answer on their own Pear Deck but then need to look at your screen as you "show responses" of the class to discuss. My students usually have two separate windows open (they can have these side by side). I give them verbal cues... please answer on your Pear Deck... please bring your attention back to my screen... etc. That helps the flow. I hope that helps!
@@andreafitzgerald6695 My first lesson using Pear Deck is literally just a getting to know your classmates... with the goal of orienting them to using Pear Deck with our video chat and to serve as a bit of an ice breaker! It's a routine that they quickly adapt to but I always rather take a little extra time up front to make sure they are navigating things comfortably!
Yes, Pear Deck has a student-paced mode. I talk about that (and how to review individual student responses) in this video: ruclips.net/video/4HdjITTQrn4/видео.html. Note that to have the "teacher dashboard", you need a Premium Pear Deck license.
Awesome Video! Thank you so much! This will be my first time using Pear Deck. Your video has helped me tremendously. I am trying to figure out if this would work during distance learning.
Jennifer Locher I am glad this helped! I am using Pear Deck during our Google Meet sessions in the same way I would in the classroom. I just use a screen share instead of being able to project on the classroom projector. The is also a student-paced more if you want to assign an asynchronous assignment.
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you for responding so quick. I'm currently working on my first Pear Deck Lesson and then I too will use Google Meet and record myself along with the pear deck presentation for asynchronous learning. Thank you! I miss my students!
You can add a question slide on the fly. There is a "new prompt" button on the bottom bar and you choose what type of question type you want. You can't type on the actual slide, so you have to verbally ask the question, but students can interact with the slide. Here's more info: help.peardeck.com/ask-a-new-question
Thank you! I see that you use Zoom to present these. I'm assuming it would work similarly with Google Meets? We are not allowed to use Zoom in my district.
Absolutely, my school actually used Google Meet in the spring when we went to remote learning and it worked great. Just make sure to take some time at the beginning of the year to explain to them how to open two windows side-by-side. I even made a video about it just to make sure it was clear for everyone :) ruclips.net/video/4o04k0oNHQ0/видео.html
When you are presenting, you do not see the student view. What happens during the presentation view for the teacher? Do you see anything? I am not sure what I have created is working.
Hi Lisa - if you want to test it out to see what a student will see, you can just join as a student (go to joinpd.com and type in the code, you can log in with your same teacher email account). Here's a video where I talk about navigating the various views within Pear Deck: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html. I hope that's helpful!
Hi Stacey, Thank you for this tutorial. How can I set up one pear deck for several different classes? I'm using self-paced mode while we are all teaching remotely, but would like to be able to see student responses by class.
Sure! Say you have 4 class sections. You would press the "start lesson" button in the Pear Deck Add-on 4 different times and give each section its own link. Then, you can review the responses from peardeck.com by going to the sessions tab. I talk about that a bit in this video: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html Hope that helps!
Hi Stacey, I have a question about when we are doing a zoom meeting and share our screen and when students join Pear deck to write their responses, and when I click into show responses, Why the show responses page does not show in the students' screen? I want to be able to share the responses with students, Can you help me do that?
Hi Susan - only you as the teacher have access to all student responses. My recommendation is to do a screen share in Zoom so students see your screen. Instruct students to escape out of full screen in Zoom and put Zoom on the left half of their screen. Then, they should open Pear Deck on the right side of their screen. You can instruct them to pay attention to your zoom screenshare when you want to discuss. Hope that helps!

Hope things are going well on your end, also! I'm so happy to hear that Pear Deck has been awesome with your classes! Yes, you can look at student work by opening the "teacher dashboard." This video should break that down a bit better: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you!
Wow, this is awesome! Do students need to also have Pear Deck or just the teacher/slide creator?
Lourdes Garcia Larque just the teacher needs the add-on to create. Students then just log into the Pear Deck by typing the join code into their browser.
very nice .. can i use any of these during ZOOM ??
Absolutely, I use Pear Deck in most of my Zoom sessions! I talk more about that topic in this webinar if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/1JLkhSGeo78/видео.html
Is it free to use? Because I remember I used it once and it said I had to pay to use it so I uninstalled it. Maybe they've changed it now, but I'd love to know if indeed you have to pay or is it all free. Thanks for bringing some interaction to presentations and teaching it to us, Stacey!
Hi Veronica - Pear Deck is offering free licenses for all right now: www.peardeck.com/stay-connected. Usually, they have a free option and a premium option. Premium includes things like the teacher dashboard, draggable & drawing slide types, etc. But for now, you can access everything by filling out the form. Hope that helps!
Great job. Your tutorial is better than the one by Pear Deck LOL
Really nice job! Thanks...going to try it for first time this week!
Stacey - great presentation! I was just wondering - is this presentation with the free subscription or the premium features?
Thank you! Yes, I have a premium license.
Was this video using the free or premium plans with Pear Deck? Sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it. Thanks!
Hi Amanda - I am on Premium. The features like drawing slide type and draggable slide types are premium features. Here is a more complete pricing breakdown: www.peardeck.com/pricing
Thank you! Good video telling me what I need to know to get started.
This was super informative. Thank you!
Heidi Fink glad this helped!
Thank you for sharing this but I have question
Do students must downlod pear deck as well? Or they just need to visit the website?
&
They can move to next question or you control this by the presentation ?
Hi Tima - students do not need to download anything. They just go to joinpd.com and type in the code that you give them (or you can share the join link directly with them). When you launch the Pear Deck, you can choose "instructor paced," where you control the pace of the slides or "student paced," where students can move between questions on their own. Here is a tutorial on using the student-paced mode: ruclips.net/video/4HdjITTQrn4/видео.html
How do I see students responses to questions? As in... which single student (by name) stated yes and which student stated no? Love the video!!
Jermaine Jennings glad this helped! To find individual student responses, you want to go to the Teacher Dashboard. I have a video on that here: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html (Note: once you are in the Teacher Dashboard, if you’re looking at a draggable slide, for instance, you can change to “list” view to see a slide with each student’s response or you can hover over the dot in “overlaid” view to see the student name)
Hello. Thank you for the tutorial. With distance learning. Do you set a time when all students "come to class" and log in to the platform? Or is this something they can do on their won time?
Pear Deck also has a student-paced mode. Here is more about that: ruclips.net/video/4HdjITTQrn4/видео.html
But at my school, we are still having students join us for class on Google Meet so I am using Pear Deck to engage the class as I would face-to-face. The only difference is instead of a classroom projector, it is my screen share in Google Meet.
Thank you for sharing this idea. Your presentation was awesome. Will this work when the google slides are uploaded to Seesaw app?
What do you get at the end? Is it converted to a doc or a spreadsheet so that you can see who responded with what?
Michael Sinclair with a paid plan, you get access to the teacher dashboard in Pear Deck with all names attached to responses. You’d just log into the session to access that data. There is also an option to export answers to google sheets
Hey Stacy, I can't figure out how to share results with students who are not present (It only showed on the instructors screen so I presume that would be where sharing your screen in Zoom or Google Meet comes into play) and there doesn't seem to be anyway to have a correct answer available to students for them to check themselves. Any recommendations there? The "recommendations" bit just gave me a copy of each student's slide file with their answer. Can I just get a set of data altogether that I can show to students or comment on later?
Hi Tressa. Good questions and I have a couple of thoughts! One is that you can use the Student-Paced Mode if you want students to complete the Pear Deck outside of class. This will not show them the correct answer, though you could build that into the next slide so that they can self-correct as they go. Assuming you are using the Premium version and integrating with Google, the other thing I often do is simply share the "blank Takeaway" that is automatically generated when I publish student takeaways after a lesson. For absent students, you can ask them to file > make a copy of the google doc and fill out the answers in the right column by typing.
Back to the topic of providing an answer key so students can self-correct, here is a video where I talk about how I do that: ruclips.net/video/uhxRIJLljY0/видео.html
Question - are students always logged into Peardeck, or do they need to log in separately for each individual Pear Deck presentation?
They log in separately by going to joinpd.com and typing in the join code based on the presentation you're asking them to join (you can also provide them a link to the individual presentation).
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! Does this work the same way if you present while sharing your screen on zoom? will students will be able to interact via zoom or how do they have to log in into joinpd.com??? Thank you again
Absolutely, it will!
Can i put this in Kotobee app?
Can you save the responses of the students after the class for review?
Yes, you can by going to peardeck.com and clicking the sessions tab. If you have a paid account, then you can see student names attached in the Teacher Dashboard. This video should help: ruclips.net/video/YwXTg6EbHfw/видео.html
Great tutorial. I loved it. ❣️ By the way, I’d like to know if this feature is entirely free.
I'm so glad this helped! Some of the features are free and some paid. Here is a breakdown: www.peardeck.com/pricing
Are all these features available in the free version, or only the paid version?
The drawing and draggable are paid features. Here is a better breakdown of the free vs premium plan: www.peardeck.com/pricing
Great tutorial thanks!
Do the students need to have the peardeck add on to be able to use the powerpoint?
For students to interact with a presentation you've made, they simply have to go to joinpd.com and type in the code generated when you "Start Lesson"
@@StaceyRoshan thankyou
Hi Stacey, may I check with you for the MCQ questions, how could we show students the correct answer? Is there anywhere that we can pre-set the answer?
There is not a way to pre-set answers or give automated student feedback in Pear Deck. I wonder if that will be coming soon with more people using their Student-Paced Mode...
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I'm a Chinese Language teacher, would like to check with you is there any way to present the slides directly through Google Slides so the Chinese font and Hanyu Pinyin won't have any issue?
Michelle Sin it pretty much just captures an image of each slide when you present in Pear Deck. So I don’t think you’ll have issues.
@@StaceyRoshan I think this is the only way I can do too. Thank you so much😊
Hi Stacey, thanks again for your videos - I am getting ready to teach summer school and have pear decked out my slides :) I am using a second device and joined my own session to see the student grid while I am presenting on my main laptop. Question - when the students joinpd, they should really watch THAT screen right? Rather than watching my google meet presentation and then clicking over to answer on the join pd tab? What I noticed is that the join pd screen is way delayed compared to my clicking through the presentation so I wonder if I will always move faster than they are seeing? Should they instead watch the google meet window that seems to move faster? But then my face is taking up a big chunk of the screen instead of seeing my slides nice and big on the join pd screen. Maybe it's really a wifi issue on my part for the delay?
possibly nevermind! :) I just logged on as my daughter and the join pd screen was not delayed. So maybe it was because I had it open twice under the same account. Regardless, the second screen is to see my students and the chat in a separate window, so I think it works for me then.
Great questions! I haven't experienced much delay, so I'll start there. Students need to move back and forth between the two screens - they'll answer on their own Pear Deck but then need to look at your screen as you "show responses" of the class to discuss. My students usually have two separate windows open (they can have these side by side). I give them verbal cues... please answer on your Pear Deck... please bring your attention back to my screen... etc. That helps the flow. I hope that helps!
@@StaceyRoshan ahhh gotcha. Thank you! Making a note for my into to explain that to them now.
@@andreafitzgerald6695 My first lesson using Pear Deck is literally just a getting to know your classmates... with the goal of orienting them to using Pear Deck with our video chat and to serve as a bit of an ice breaker! It's a routine that they quickly adapt to but I always rather take a little extra time up front to make sure they are navigating things comfortably!
@@StaceyRoshan Great idea - my intro to the class and google meet etc. is set up with pear deck too so that will be great practice. Thanks again
Could this be used asynchronously? And can you see individual students responses?
Yes, Pear Deck has a student-paced mode. I talk about that (and how to review individual student responses) in this video: ruclips.net/video/4HdjITTQrn4/видео.html. Note that to have the "teacher dashboard", you need a Premium Pear Deck license.
Awesome Video! Thank you so much! This will be my first time using Pear Deck. Your video has helped me tremendously. I am trying to figure out if this would work during distance learning.
Jennifer Locher I am glad this helped! I am using Pear Deck during our Google Meet sessions in the same way I would in the classroom. I just use a screen share instead of being able to project on the classroom projector. The is also a student-paced more if you want to assign an asynchronous assignment.
Here is a video where I share tips on using Pear Deck’s student-paced mode: ruclips.net/video/4HdjITTQrn4/видео.html
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you for responding so quick. I'm currently working on my first Pear Deck Lesson and then I too will use Google Meet and record myself along with the pear deck presentation for asynchronous learning. Thank you! I miss my students!
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you for sharing!!! I will definitely watch and use!
Is this a good way for students to show how to solve a math problem during synchronous or small group learning?
Absolutely, that is how I use it in my math classroom! I share some ideas in this video: ruclips.net/video/uI3VKly3fQg/видео.html
If something comes up last minute, can you add a quick slide while you are presenting it?
You can add a question slide on the fly. There is a "new prompt" button on the bottom bar and you choose what type of question type you want. You can't type on the actual slide, so you have to verbally ask the question, but students can interact with the slide. Here's more info: help.peardeck.com/ask-a-new-question
Thank you! I see that you use Zoom to present these. I'm assuming it would work similarly with Google Meets? We are not allowed to use Zoom in my district.
Absolutely, my school actually used Google Meet in the spring when we went to remote learning and it worked great. Just make sure to take some time at the beginning of the year to explain to them how to open two windows side-by-side. I even made a video about it just to make sure it was clear for everyone :) ruclips.net/video/4o04k0oNHQ0/видео.html
When you are presenting, you do not see the student view. What happens during the presentation view for the teacher? Do you see anything? I am not sure what I have created is working.
Hi Lisa - if you want to test it out to see what a student will see, you can just join as a student (go to joinpd.com and type in the code, you can log in with your same teacher email account). Here's a video where I talk about navigating the various views within Pear Deck: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html. I hope that's helpful!
Does PearDeck provide a session report like Nearpod?
With the paid license, you have access to the "teacher dashboard." I summarize some highlights in this video: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html
Hi Stacey, Thank you for this tutorial. How can I set up one pear deck for several different classes? I'm using self-paced mode while we are all teaching remotely, but would like to be able to see student responses by class.
Sure! Say you have 4 class sections. You would press the "start lesson" button in the Pear Deck Add-on 4 different times and give each section its own link. Then, you can review the responses from peardeck.com by going to the sessions tab. I talk about that a bit in this video: ruclips.net/video/kGjGNdlny9I/видео.html Hope that helps!
Hi Stacey, I have a question about when we are doing a zoom meeting and share our screen and when students join Pear deck to write their responses, and when I click into show responses, Why the show responses page does not show in the students' screen?
I want to be able to share the responses with students, Can you help me do that?
Hi Susan - only you as the teacher have access to all student responses. My recommendation is to do a screen share in Zoom so students see your screen. Instruct students to escape out of full screen in Zoom and put Zoom on the left half of their screen. Then, they should open Pear Deck on the right side of their screen. You can instruct them to pay attention to your zoom screenshare when you want to discuss. Hope that helps!
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you very much! Hopefully, my students will be able to split screens:)
Would I be able to use Pear Deck as an individual assignment for students? Instead of as a whole group?
You can create a student-paced Pear Deck lesson. Here is more on that! ruclips.net/video/4HdjITTQrn4/видео.html
@@StaceyRoshan Thanks. I appreciate it.
