In this video https://drive.google.com/file/d/1StrldyfI0fCeSac-w05Bsk5sCfr3HTjZ/view, Sioux Central high school Language Arts teacher Jamie Turnbull shares how she got started with Pear Deck AND...provides a tutorial for teachers on how to use this platform.
Iowa's Area Education Agencies have partnered with Iowa-based Pear Deck to give Iowa schools powerful learning tools. Pear Deck is a communication platform that lets teachers create interactive assessments and presentations that students can follow from their personal devices. It is used in conjunction with Google slides and assists teachers with designing engaging learning experiences and embedding formative assessments into online classrooms, and is designed to integrate with a district's existing tools including both Google or Microsoft applications.
Thank you Prairie Lakes AEA for showcasing Ms. Turnbull and her talents.
