*These Interactive Google Slides are compatible with Pear Deck. Note that using these lesson plans with Pear Deck is entirely OPTIONAL. All lesson plans are fully functional and effective without the Pear Deck Add On. If you choose to use these lesson plans without Pear Deck, just present as you would using Google Slides, or print out the slides and use them as handouts for students to engage with using paper and pencil.*

What is Pear Deck?

Pear Deck (similar to Nearpod or SeeSaw) is a Google Slides Add On that allows you to make slides of your choosing interactive. Students will be able to draw directly on the slides to demonstrate their thinking, respond to multiple choice questions, and more. Pear Deck works whether your setting is in-person, remote, or hybrid. Just have students join the lesson from their devices using the code or direct link.

Why Pear Deck?

1. Pear Deck increases student engagement because they can interact with the content and practice skills during the lesson.
2. View student responses and strategies in the moment, and adjust your instruction according to how they are mastering the objective.
3. Showcase student work samples during the lesson. Pear Deck allows for a more student-centered learning experience because your sample strategies can come from the students themselves. Put the thinking on the students, and share student responses live!
