No incentive was offered 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. --- ### Wonderful Tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Hope A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Primary/ Secondary Education - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Pear Deck is a wonderful tool to use in your classroom. I love that you can assign it to your students for self-paced lessons or you can use the lessons for direct teaching. The students navigate through the software easily. I love that it is fairly easy to use and engaging. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love that the software works directly with Google Slides and Google Classroom. Pear Deck is interactive. You can add slides with the drag and drop feature, a draw feature, open ended questions, true/false, etc.. It's got an existing library where you can get pre-made slides or you can create your own. So many features that make learning more fun. #### Cons There is a little bit of a learning curve.

Replied September 2021 --- ### Pear Deck makes your content engaging while keeping things simple - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ricardo O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Covid-19 presented our schools with a huge challenge: how to keep students interested in our educational content remotely, without physical supervision, and with different rules. Pear Deck was one of the most instrumental tools in keeping students engaged. The plethora of templates and formats of information allowed our teachers to go full creative in presenting their information creating a two-way channel of communication. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Pear Deck is a tool that gives superpowers to our Google Slides presentations. Pear Deck's main forté is the number of templates and different formats in which you can present information so students can digest it. Even more important, students can demonstrate and apply what they know using the very same tool. The instant feedback the teacher has is invaluable. One may think that these features are maybe difficult to apply or with a steep learning curve. None of that. Pear Deck is easy to implement over Google or Microsoft. #### Cons The only con I can see is the price if the service is not provided by the school. Maybe 25% less can be more attractive for individual teachers. --- ### Great tool for interactive learnifn - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Fiona N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I could spend hours raving about Pear Deck! I use Pear Deck every single day in my seventh grade English Language Arts classroom. Pear Deck allows students to get started on work right away in class without needing verbal instructions from me. I use Pear Deck for daily bellringer work and interactive lessons. It takes simple Google Slides and allows students to draw, write, or interact with the lesson rather than hearing the information lecture-style. Pear Deck is easy to learn and easy to implement for occasional or daily use. #### Cons Pear Deck could be improved by making assignments easier to grade through connection with a LMS, such as Google Classroom. #### Vendor response Thanks for sharing, Callie! We're so happy we can support your teaching! Replied June 2022 --- ### Good, with room for improvement - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - 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. --- ### Easy to the Eyes - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: ROSCIEL D. - 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. It was great at first but in the later part of using it, I noticed that lesser and lesser of my students are showing work. I think more of them will be engaged if at the end of the lesson, I will have a grade that reflects how much they did and it can be pushed to their gradebook so that they are aware that it is important to do their notes. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The color and how it presented is fun, warm and light to the eyes. Students and teacher like the features because it looks fun. It has templates for checking which is awesome. Teacher dashboard is really great and very easy to use for every class. #### Cons I hope I can combine 2 options in the same slide. Like drawing and quiz . I hope the when I do quiz like question, I can put in the key so that I can see real time who missed it and who got it. #### Reasons for choosing Pear Deck Peardeck is user friendly, colorful and has templates available. This is what I like most about this product Go formative helps me monitor my students progress real time and it's graded. So students are forced to do the notes. I can also pushed the grade in the grade book. It is not an eye candy as peardeck but its plus points outweigh the peardeck's plus points. If I can combine this 2 products, it will be awesome. --- ### Interaction, connection, accountability - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Carrie P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Pear Deck offers great online and learning support for implementation by educators and allows them to create engaging, interactive learning for students. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Pear Deck allows teachers to interact and engage students in individual and whole class learning. The interactive slides create ways for students to communicate their learning while creatively participating. The ability to assign the deck to students for completion on their time sets the stage for successful differentiation, and the option to add sound can accommodate all learners. #### Cons Name and date decks in a way that will allow you to track your classes easily. When using the same assignment for multiple classes it can be a little cumbersome to find a specific class. #### Vendor response Thanks for the feedback, Carrie!
