Students in Mrs. Small's NextGen classroom are learning in a new and unique way. They are learning, socially, with Pear Deck. Pear Deck is an app that allows students to connect to live online sessions to receive instruction, connect to teacher approved videos and websites, take quizzes, interact with the teacher and other students, and more! Students simply access the Pear Deck website, enter a join code, and start participating in the live lesson! The teacher can ask open-ended questions and listen to what every single person in the room has to say. Every participant can give anonymous answers that spark discussions about how to solve a problem. Pear Deck makes it easy for even the shyest of students to participate! |
