LET'S LEARN ABOUT PEAR DECK


Pear Deck flips the traditional lecture by actively engaging students in real-time. Ask questions. Students answer. Want to use Pear Deck in your class? Here's how. 

The standard lecture has plenty of detractors, and rightfully so. Done poorly, it can be an uninspired stream of facts, delivered in sit-and-get style that get forgotten quickly.

However, we can turn the standard lecture — and its tool of choice, the presentation slide! — on its head.

The result can be students actively working with new ideas. Hands-on. Right away.

Presentation slides can be a drag.

But when students (and teachers!) have something interactive to do with them, it changes the game.

That’s what I love about Pear Deck. And, of course, the best news: much of what I show you in this post can be done with the free plan!

What is Pear Deck?

   Pear Deck is an interactive technology tool to transform your presentation slides into opportunities for formative assessment and active learning. Functioning as an add-on to Google Slides, you can add various types of questions to any of your existing slides!

  

   Educational developers have emphasized the advantages of formative assessment in the teaching and learning (Boston, 2002). For instructors, formative assessment can help them adjust to learners' needs in real time. Classroom response systems (CRS) can aid instructors to formatively assess student learning efficiently on an ongoing basis as well as increase student engagement and classroom interactionA, and facilitate peer learning (CTI, 2012).

Using Pear Deck, students respond to questions anonymously by either answering with a statement or choosing the options provided by the professors. The responses are compiled and can be displayed anonymously to the class in real time (Mache, Tan, Shoemaker, & Weiss, 2017).

  A 2015 study with Johns Hopkins University and the NYC Department of Education found the following: 65% of students agreed that Pear Deck helped them understand class material better, and 61% of students reported that it increased their interest in class material (Pear Deck, 2018).

  Using the content of your presentation, you can ask students any of the following types of questions in Pear Deck:

  • Multiple choice - functions like an instant poll of your class
  • Numerical response - showing the results on a number line
  • Open-ended - allow students to answer questions in their own words
  • Draggable & drawable - students can label and draw right on their devices

You can choose from the extensive library of template slides to get your students actively involved with your lesson.

Think of the difference between seasoning an old family recipe (Enhancement) and creating an entirely new, original dish (Transformation). Substitution   At this stage, technology is directly substituted for a more traditional teaching tool or method. It is a simple, bare-bones, direct replacemen...

      Learning Theories      Let me give you a little information about learning theories.  When talking about a theory, we must  consider  they arise as answers to the questions asked by researchers. So, a learning theory is defined as a set of different concepts that observe, describe, explain, and guide the learning process of people and everything that rdelates  to this process.    Learning Theories Cognitive Load Theory Multimedia Behaviorism Social Cognitive Theory Constructivism Online Colabrotative Learning Motivatian and Self Regulated Learning Cognitivism Connectivism    Here's a mindmap for you to have a overall look about the subject.
