Pear Deck Add-On for Google Slides


Pear Deck has been on my list for awhile to feature in a blog post.  When I learned that they now had a Pear Deck Add-On for Google Slides, I knew it was time!

Pear Deck is an interactive slide deck tool similar to Nearpod where students join in on the live presentation from their own device.  Pear Deck provides a variety of interactive question options and activities for teachers to use as means to assess student's learning and keep students engaged.  

What is super cool is that Pear Deck has been working with Google and just released a Pear Deck Add-on for Google Slides.  Now you can keep designing your presentations in Google Slides but add Pear Deck's formative assessment questions right from the Google Slides editor!  When your slides are made, it's important that you present with Pear DeckIf you present with Google Slides, you will miss out on all the interactive Pear Deck magic you just created.
