### Make your slides interactive, great choice

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Education Management
- Company size: 201-500 employees
- Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: May 2021
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall, this has been a great extension for google slides and I'm glad my school has started using it. It allows in-time teaching to be more interactive and give all students a voice who may not always be inclined to raise their hand and share.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I love that this can be added to Google Slides to make them interactive. Students can do it while at home or in class, which is great, and easily connect from their iPads. I like that students enjoy it too. It has a lot of options. I also like how it turns maybe not-so-interesting lessons into interactive engaging ones. In addition, it allows me to do pre-assessments, during, and post-assessments well to check for student understanding. I also appreciate how it is very "on trend" and relevant.

#### Cons

There was a larger learning curve than I'd like for adding it on, how to deploy it, etc. One other bad thing is that if you have a large class, that many students writing on or interacting with one slide can be chaotic. Wondering if there are ways to improve this. It is also hard to tell who is writing what. You run into risk of kids writing or drawing things off task, which is never fun behavior management to deal with.

Pear Deck is widely regarded as a valuable tool for creating interactive and engaging presentations in educational settings. Here are some aspects of Pear Deck that I have highlighted as positive experiences:Increased student engagement: Pear Deck offers interactive features such as questions, polls, and drawing activities that encourage active participation from students. Real-time formative assessment: With Pear Deck, I can gather real-time responses from students during presentations. This feature enables teachers to gauge student understanding instantly and adjust their instruction accordingly. I have appreciated the ability to monitor student responses in real-time and use the data to inform my teaching.Differentiation and personalized learning: Pear Deck allows for differentiation by providing options to tailor presentations to individual student needs. I can create interactive slides with various question types, offer choices, or adjust the pace of the presentation to accommodate different learning styles and abilities.Seamless integration with Google Workspace: Pear Deck integrates smoothly with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), making it convenient for users who already utilize Google tools in their teaching.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

1. Differentiation and personalized learning: Pear Deck provides options for differentiated instruction and personalized learning experiences. i can adapt my presentations to cater to individual student needs by providing targeted questions, offering choice-based activities, or adjusting the pace of the presentation to accommodate different learning styles.2. Integration with Google Workspace: Pear Deck seamlessly integrates with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), allowing me to create and access Pear Deck presentations directly within Google Slides. This integration simplifies the workflow for users who already use Google tools for education.3. Data and assessment insights: Pear Deck offers data and assessment features that allow teachers to track student progress, review responses, and gain insights into student comprehension. I can analyze student responses, identify areas of strength or weakness, and make informed instructional decisions based on the data collected.4. Accessibility and student engagement: Pear Deck provides accessibility features, such as language translation and text-to-speech functionality, that support diverse learners and ensure inclusivity in the classroom. The interactive nature of Pear Deck presentations helps to keep students engaged throughout the lesson.

#### Cons

1. Limited question types: I have expressed a desire for a greater variety of question types within Pear Deck. While the platform offers several question formats, I need additional options, such as matching or fill-in-the-blank questions, would be beneficial for my instructional needs.2. Pear Deck heavily relies on internet connectivity, and in areas with poor or unreliable internet connections users may face challenges when using the platform. This can disrupt the real-time interactive aspects of Pear Deck presentations.

### Pear Deck for Virtual Learning

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Education Management
- Company size: 10000+ employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: February 2021
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I use Pear Deck to teach virtually, create collaborate small groups and give meaningful assignments where the users can respond. I can record their responses or save them in order to give them feedback. I use it daily as so many of my students are virtual learners.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Peardeck allows me to interact with my audience in a genuine and authentic way. Through Pear Deck, I can create a presentation and ask a collaborative question, poll the audience or have them complete an assignment. Their individual responses are collected and easily visable. I can offer real time fedback and know immediately their progress and thinking. It is easy to convert a prevvious presentation or Google slide into Pear Deck in a matter of minutes. Users can add the Pear Deck app and log on. I can have it as I live session or can save it to go back and review individual responses.

#### Cons

A drawback that I have encountered is that individuals must put their name when they respond. If not, the presenter will not know from whom the responses are coming from. I always have to remind my audience about this.

#### Reasons for choosing Pear Deck

Having both the ease of presenting material in a visual way and the interactive aspect of having participants respond to it is very important. I wanted a product that had this all in one place. Pear Deck does that.

#### Reasons for switching to Pear Deck

Google Slides are great for presenting but very limited in receiving feedback from an audience or group of students. They would have to use another platform as well. Pear Deck combinds both the presentation aspect and enables me to see instantly individual responses from the participants. I can save the session to revisit the responses.

### Good, with room for improvement

- Industry: Education Management
- Company size: 10000+ employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: January 2021
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I use it daily because my first graders find it user friendly.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Pear Deck allows a teacher to see her students’ work in real-time and therefore make better instructional decisions. Pear Deck allows students to write on slides, answer multiple-choice questions, and drag up to five shapes.

#### Cons

This software could improve by allowing teachers to upload their own draggables and allow more than five draggables on a slide. Additionally, the customer service is very limited. I’ve had a student unable to access the slides for a couple of weeks now. Waiting to hear back from Pear Deck because my school’s technical support has not found a solution on their end. Additionally, I’ve google my student’s problem and haven’t found a solution. I am tech savvy.
