Pear Deck

6

Overview

Overview

Pear Deck is an interactive lesson-delivery add-on for Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint. Teachers embed questions, drawing, draggable responses, polls, and prompts into presentations and view student responses during or after instruction. Each response belongs to a learner, prompt, and lesson context. Teachers use that immediate evidence for feedback and discussion, with account and class membership determining how participation is associated with students.

Audience and instructional role

Grades / learners:

classroom teachers, students, instructional coaches, and administrators

Learning focus:

active participation, checks for understanding, discussion, and formative assessment — an interactive lesson-delivery add-on for Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint

How it supports learning

  • Teachers embed questions, drawing, draggable responses, polls, and prompts into presentations and view student responses during or after instruction.
  • Teachers should use the product within a defined instructional model rather than treat activity completion as evidence of learning.

Implementation and instructional decisions

  • Pear Deck improves visibility into participation but does not supply a coherent curriculum by itself; teachers must design accessible, instructionally meaningful prompts and respond to evidence.
  • Districts should confirm accessibility, language support, student-data practices, assignment workflow, reporting, and the role of teacher judgment.
