A Note for Trainers
This deck is divided into four sections. You can present this deck in its entirety for a complete training. Sections 1 and 4 are relevant to all Pear Deck users, and should be included in any Pear Deck for Distance Learning training. If your session is focused on one type of distance teaching (asynchronous or synchronous), you can choose between Section 2 or 3 to best fit your needs.

Instructor Screen Set Up
You can choose: split your screen with two windows, Presenter View and Teacher Dashboard; or open the Dashboard on a second device, such as a tablet or phone.
Drag your dot to show if you’re ready to move on:
Student Takeaways
When you publish Takeaways, you give students an easy way to go back and review the lesson later.
Because you have access to the Takeaway with Google Docs tools, you can leave comments for students, giving them specific feedback on their answers.
Extending the lesson
with Student Takeaways
You can also use Takeaways to extend the lesson beyond the classroom. For example, you could assign Takeaways �as homework and ask students to reflect on what they learned in the spaces provided, on another student's answer that differed from theirs, or to describe their thought process as they unpacked certain questions.
Best Practices for
Asynchronous Instruction
Explore the power of Pear Deck for asynchronous learning!
In this section, we’ll cover how
to share a Pear Deck lesson with your students to work through at their own speed, best practices for asynchronous learning, and how to share Student Takeaways with feedback after the lesson.
Best Practices for Asynchronous Learning
Sample expectations:

How to turn on Student Paced Mode
Launch your Pear Deck presentation. Then, click the three dots in the lower right corner on the toolbar.
