Instructor Paced - Live Lecture
Launch your Google Slide Deck in Instructor Paced Mode to ensure students are on the same slide as you and not working ahead!
Good for the most traditional classroom lecture but hold students accountable!
Student Paced Mode - Flipped Learning!
Launch your Google Slide Deck in Student Paced Mode to allow for Flipped learning! Students navigate the slide deck and work on tasks as they come their way!
Great for delivering content but students doing their own investigating!
Station Rotation!
The PERFECT Blend!!
Pass out hard copy materials for students to read/analyze but then allow students to go to Pear Deck to complete their takeaways! This allows you the teacher to see which groups are working on which station and allows you to manage the time needed for this Station Activity because answers are collected in real time!
Checking In!
Create a few SEL Slides (included in the Pear Deck Template Library OR check in with students on the task/project being worked on to hold students accountable!
Graphic Organizers!
Insert a reading or other material on one slide and use a Pear Deck template slide for analysis. You can see what the students are saying and give real-time feedback for more specific details or textual evidence even BEFORE they turn in their work!
See Slide 6 for an example!
Video Viewing Guides!
Play a video for the entire class on your Board, but have students type their notes or answer questions while they watch! You the teacher can monitor who is watching and paying attention versus collecting a hard copy graphic organizer at the end of the video that is either blank or full of doodles!
See Slide 7 for an example!
