I attended the Tech Innovation Conference from ERLC in Edmonton earlier this week, and one of the presenters used a website called Pear Deck to do his presentation. I had heard of it before, but hadn't really given it the time of day. However, after seeing his engaging presentation, I knew that I needed to give it a shot!
Pear Deck is a platform that allows you to create slides to deliver information to your students, but the fun part is that you can add different types of questions to your presentation for students to answer as you go (multiple choice, long answer), and you can also add youtube videos right into your presentation. The best part is, you get students to join your presentation, and it plays it right on their devices for them to follow along. If you upgrade to premium, it spits out a Google sheet with all of the students answers to the questions recorded in a handy spreadsheet when you are finished.
My kids absolutely enjoyed a "boring" social lesson today because of this fun tool. I highly recommend checking it out!
