RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Pear Deck is a website that allows for interaction during lectures and classroom instruction. Teachers are
able to upload PowerPoint slides, google slides, etc. and post questions and assessments throughout the
presentation to allow the students to interact. This would be able to show whether or not the students
are comprehending the information the Teacher is giving them.

INTEGRATION IDEA - PRESENTATION

I might use Pear Deck in lessons to present the lecture for a unit. While using the presentation mode, I
would also add supplementary images, videos, and questions for the students to answer, to gauge
whether or not they understand and comprehend the information given to them.

Value-Added Rating Scale

3 2 1

The integration idea described:
aligns to content standards
transforms a lesson in a way that
would be impossible or very
difficult without it; very likely to
increase student engagement and
contribute to mastery of the
concept(s)
optimal in a student-centered
environment where students are
active and engaged in learning
content
The integration idea
described:
aligns to content standards
enhances a lesson; likely to
increase student
engagement and support
mastery of the concept(s)
will most likely be used by
the students directly
The integration idea described:
aligns to content standards
serves as a nice supplement to
a lesson but wouldnt necessarily
play a critical role within the
lesson
will most likely be used by the
teacher during a lesson (e.g., a
demonstration)
 VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
I would rate Pear Deck as a 3 because it aligns with multiple ISTE Standards, it encourages student
engagement, and it is centered for students to use.
