THANK YOU SO MUCH. This video is very helpful!
I actually really like the speed that you presented at. It was fast, concise and very clear. Thank you!
Yes, I agree! It's perfect! Most other videos I've seen are too slow!
@@amberlewis5484 Too fast for me. The age gap is showin!!
I love how interactive this is.
I'm only 20 and I'm preparing my classes. I heard about this app and THIS was the tutorial I was looking for. Thanks a lot.
I really appreciate how you just get to the point and get going!!!!!
I am 51, my principal is new and 60..
We are both panicking about using Google this year. Love this and I can teach him this so "he" can teach the other teachers.
You just changed my online classes. I cannot wait to use this already. Thank you soooo much. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
This comment makes my day! I'm so happy to hear that you'll be able to implement this in your classes to make them even better. Sending all my best!
I just watched a bunch of 'how to' Pear Deck youtube videos and this was BY FAR the most useful. Great job and thank you so much!
Thank you for that comment, Dan! It really means a lot.
Great presentation! Thank you. I cannot wait to start doing more lessons with PD.
My goodness! You answered all my questions in 8 minutes while other lessons take too too long. Efficient and effective. Thank you!
This comment makes my day :) I'm so happy to be able to help!!! Good luck in your school year.
Thank you! The explanations were really clear and the pacing was great!
Really nice job! Thanks...going to try it for first time this week!
Excellent presentation Stacey, thank you!
This tutorial was so informative and easy to understand. Kudos!
Raymond Deodato Lorenzana thanks so much for your kind comment! I’m glad this helped :)
@@StaceyRoshan guess what, I just facilitated a two hour training class using Pear Deck and G Slides. And the class loved it! that's all that's to your tutorial. :)
@@rlorenzana424 That's awesome! So excited to hear you've been able to spread the Pear Deck love! Glad to be able to be a piece of that :)
Stacey Roshan you did an amazing job presentating the works of Pear Deck! THANK YOU!
Thanks for this wonderful comment, Margie! Pear Deck is such a powerful tool, and I'm happy for any & all opportunities to share how and why.
Amazing tutorial by the way!
This is a great presentation. I'm hoping to use Pear Deck to teach principles of design, like focal points and symmetrical/asymmetrical balance. This looks perfect! Thanks for creating these videos. I've been watching your stuff all morning.
Dukk_Dodgers I’m so glad you found my channel and that it’s helping as you design awesome lessons for your students! Feel free to reach out if I can help at all, or to share feedback after you’ve used in class!
Wow! That was excellent! Thanks so much for taking the time to teach the rest of us!
Preferably Pre-K! I’m so, so happy to be able to share some of my favorite things that have worked in my classroom :)
Thank you for the tutorial!
EXTREMELY helpful!! Thank you!!
Feeling like I can teach new information when we go back and it’s virtual learning! Thanks
I don’t know how I’d do virtual synchronous sessions without Pear Deck! It’s such a game changer in terms of still being able to engage all and keep the focus on talking about student work. Glad this helped!
There are so many tutorials in youtube, but this one hit right on the spot. That's exactly what I need. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! So glad to be able to help :)
Thanks! Will try it with my students at internship!!
Omar Ghoche awesome! Hope it goes well
This was super informative. Thank you!
Heidi Fink glad this helped!
Thank you! Good video telling me what I need to know to get started.
Loved your presentation! I was wondering, how well do the interactive activities work on smartphones? Any glitches to think about beforehand? I've been using Nearpod this year and we always run into some issues using mobile devices.
EdTech4AdultESL thanks, I’m so glad this was helpful! I haven’t run into any issues with students using on mobile devices. And I’ve had a group of 200 on at once
Oh. Thank you so much. This video is so helpful. Love Pear Deck.
Your presentations are so informative and very easy to follow! Thank you!
Thank you for the kind comment, JoAnn. So glad to be able to help!
Thank you! I'm so glad I found your video. Made understanding how to use Pear Deck so easy!
I'm so glad this was helpful, Diana!
That was super useful. Thank you!
This was so helpful! Thank you!
This was a super helpful starter tutorial/refresher for me! It was very clear, concise, and will definitely help me with mastering how to utilize Pear Deck. Thank you!
I’m so happy to be able to help, Trinity! Thanks for the kind comment.
Thank you! I have never heard of this! Now that I'm teaching from home I can use this feature.
Felisha Pittman so happy! Pear Deck is one of my very favorite EdTech tools to use in my classes :)
Nicely done! You got straight to the point and your information was presented very concisely.
I really like your tutorial, very clear voice. Amazing
Great overview. . . Thanks
Best tutorial I've seen by a mile. Love your presentation style. Thank you. Can I ask how you make your video?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the compliment! I use Camtasia to record & edit my screencasts: www.techsmith.com/video-editor.html
@@StaceyRoshan Thanks for the info. And the inspiration!
It's awesome ! I really liked the presentation and it was so inspiring !
You've explained this the best! Thank you!
So glad you found this helpful!!
Thank you for sharing this presentation. I haven't used pear deck before and I'm really excited at giving it a go.
I'm so happy to hear you found my video helpful! Pear Deck is one of my favorite things, so feel free to reach out as you explore if a question comes up. Have fun!
Thank you so much! This video really helpful.
Awesome Video! Thank you so much! This will be my first time using Pear Deck. Your video has helped me tremendously. I am trying to figure out if this would work during distance learning.
Jennifer Locher I am glad this helped! I am using Pear Deck during our Google Meet sessions in the same way I would in the classroom. I just use a screen share instead of being able to project on the classroom projector. The is also a student-paced more if you want to assign an asynchronous assignment.
Here is a video where I share tips on using Pear Deck’s student-paced mode: ua-cam.com/video/4HdjITTQrn4/v-deo.html
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you for responding so quick. I'm currently working on my first Pear Deck Lesson and then I too will use Google Meet and record myself along with the pear deck presentation for asynchronous learning. Thank you! I miss my students!
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you for sharing!!! I will definitely watch and use!
Super helpful for teaching virtually. It reminds me of nearpod! Thanks for the tutorial :)
Glad to be able to share!
Hi Stacey, Thank you for this tutorial. How can I set up one pear deck for several different classes? I'm using self-paced mode while we are all teaching remotely, but would like to be able to see student responses by class.
Sure! Say you have 4 class sections. You would press the "start lesson" button in the Pear Deck Add-on 4 different times and give each section its own link. Then, you can review the responses from peardeck.com by going to the sessions tab. I talk about that a bit in this video: ua-cam.com/video/kGjGNdlny9I/v-deo.html Hope that helps!
Thank you this is so valuable to me now
Ian Mitchell thanks for commenting, Ian. So happy to be able to help!
Wow, this is awesome! Do students need to also have Pear Deck or just the teacher/slide creator?
Lourdes Garcia Larque just the teacher needs the add-on to create. Students then just log into the Pear Deck by typing the join code into their browser.
Well done. Quick and you gave me the info I needed to get started.
Thanks for the kind comment! So happy to be able to share :)
This was awesome! Thank You!
Question: Will this work if students are viewing the presentation at different times?
@@valencia8070 You'll want to turn on "student-paced mode" for students to work on their own. Here is a video where I share more about setting that up & how to view student responses as they come in: ua-cam.com/video/4HdjITTQrn4/v-deo.html Hope that helps!
Hello. Thank you for the tutorial. With distance learning. Do you set a time when all students "come to class" and log in to the platform? Or is this something they can do on their won time?
Pear Deck also has a student-paced mode. Here is more about that: ua-cam.com/video/4HdjITTQrn4/v-deo.html
But at my school, we are still having students join us for class on Google Meet so I am using Pear Deck to engage the class as I would face-to-face. The only difference is instead of a classroom projector, it is my screen share in Google Meet.
Thank you I needed this!!!!!
Cristina Gomez so glad to help!!
@@StaceyRoshan
Excellent, succinct and clear!
Super helpful! It was to the point, a good speed and easy to follow. Thanks!
Thank you for the kind note! I am so glad this helped :)
Can you use this in a Zoom meeting with students and have it be interactive still?
Absolutely! I've been teaching a purely online course for the last several years and rely on Pear Deck for all synchronous sessions. You can see Pear Deck + Zoom in action during this webinar I recently did: ua-cam.com/video/1JLkhSGeo78/v-deo.html. Just think of the "projector" in your classroom as the "screen share" in Zoom :)
@@StaceyRoshan Is it possible to have 2 "screens" open at the same time on zoom so you have the projector/zoom screen and also the presenter screen that only you see?
@@ashleyarrastia1652 Yes, you can choose to do a screen share in Zoom with just one window so that students will just see the projector screen even though you also have the teacher dashboard up.
@@StaceyRoshan thank you!
@@StaceyRoshan Can you use this in Microsoft teams with students and still have it interactive?
I feel it will be very handy for my lessons. Thank you.
So glad to hear that!
Great information. I am still learning . Do you have this information on a slide for a slow teacher like me?
Thank you so much Stacey for this clear demonstration!
Thank you for sharing this idea. Your presentation was awesome. Will this work when the google slides are uploaded to Seesaw app?
This really helps a lot. Thanks.
Excellent! So helpful. Thank you
Thank you! This was concise and easy to understand.
Thanks for the kind comment! So glad I was able to help in your Pear Deck journey :)
Thank you! Very helpful. Are you on the free version or the paid?
Awesome, I'm glad! I have a premium plan, but most of what I show in this video is available with the free version (besides the draggable question type). Here is a breakdown: www.peardeck.com/pricing
I am using the Premium version, but most of the features I show in this particular video are in the free version (other than the draggables). Here is a breakdown of the free/paid features: www.peardeck.com/pricing
Thank you..so excited to use this in class . another brilliant and fun idea to make for kids
great video! very easy to follow.
thank you for sharing this interactive and informative tutorial video. Greetings from Philippines
Hi, Alfa. Thank you for posting a comment & saying hello. So happy to be able to help!
Stacey - great presentation! I was just wondering - is this presentation with the free subscription or the premium features?
Thank you! Yes, I have a premium license.
Hey Stacy, I can't figure out how to share results with students who are not present (It only showed on the instructors screen so I presume that would be where sharing your screen in Zoom or Google Meet comes into play) and there doesn't seem to be anyway to have a correct answer available to students for them to check themselves. Any recommendations there? The "recommendations" bit just gave me a copy of each student's slide file with their answer. Can I just get a set of data altogether that I can show to students or comment on later?
Hi Tressa. Good questions and I have a couple of thoughts! One is that you can use the Student-Paced Mode if you want students to complete the Pear Deck outside of class. This will not show them the correct answer, though you could build that into the next slide so that they can self-correct as they go. Assuming you are using the Premium version and integrating with Google, the other thing I often do is simply share the "blank Takeaway" that is automatically generated when I publish student takeaways after a lesson. For absent students, you can ask them to file > make a copy of the google doc and fill out the answers in the right column by typing.
Back to the topic of providing an answer key so students can self-correct, here is a video where I talk about how I do that: ua-cam.com/video/uhxRIJLljY0/v-deo.html
Well done. Thank you.
Great job. Your tutorial is better than the one by Pear Deck LOL
What do you get at the end? Is it converted to a doc or a spreadsheet so that you can see who responded with what?
Michael Sinclair with a paid plan, you get access to the teacher dashboard in Pear Deck with all names attached to responses. You’d just log into the session to access that data. There is also an option to export answers to google sheets
Thank you!!
Is there a way to see which students answered which questions on the teacher end?
Hi Kimberly - yes, if you have a paid Pear Deck account, you can see names attached in the "teacher dashboard." I explain more in this video: ua-cam.com/video/S8sINqbE-wI/v-deo.html. I hope that helps.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! Does this work the same way if you present while sharing your screen on zoom? will students will be able to interact via zoom or how do they have to log in into joinpd.com??? Thank you again
Absolutely, it will!
Which software are you using for the tutorial? to screencast?
I use Camtasia to create & edit my screencasts.
If you're looking for a free, simple option, my recommendation is Screencastify or Loom.
Hope that helps!
Hello, Stacey. Thank you for taking the time to create this tutorial. I have a few questions. How would this work in secondary ed. for teachers with multiple classes? Will I have to open it multiple times or can one pear deck be used for all classes? This is my only plight with Nearpod. Also, if you do not finish the Peardeck, can the information be saved and revisited another day picking up where you left off?
Hi, Harrell. In this video, I talk about launching Pear Deck for multiple sections of students: ua-cam.com/video/6tjjIO438ec/v-deo.html. You just create the one Google Slides and launch a session for each section to keep responses separated.
To answer your second question: yes, answers are automatically saved (on the student view and on the teacher view). Simply have students go back to the Pear Deck link and all answers are always there & editable until you close the session. You can have multiple sessions open at the same time, no problem at all!
Thank you for sharing this but I have question
Do students must downlod pear deck as well? Or they just need to visit the website?
&
They can move to next question or you control this by the presentation ?
Hi Tima - students do not need to download anything. They just go to joinpd.com and type in the code that you give them (or you can share the join link directly with them). When you launch the Pear Deck, you can choose "instructor paced," where you control the pace of the slides or "student paced," where students can move between questions on their own. Here is a tutorial on using the student-paced mode: ua-cam.com/video/4HdjITTQrn4/v-deo.html
Hey Stacey! Hope your first quarter is going well! Peardeck has been awesome with my classes. Is there a way to look at student work from student paced mode without ending the session and publishing takeaways? Thanks!
Hope things are going well on your end, also! I'm so happy to hear that Pear Deck has been awesome with your classes! Yes, you can look at student work by opening the "teacher dashboard." This video should break that down a bit better: ua-cam.com/video/kGjGNdlny9I/v-deo.html
@@StaceyRoshan Thank you!
Stacy what are you using to auto draw in your presentation like when you draw a red box to emphasize
Hi Angela - I use Camtasia to record & edit all my videos. That red box is one of the annotation types I can add in during the editing phase.
Thanks so much🥰
Great tutorial thanks!
it was an awesome presentation!
is there a way to share the responses with students on their own screens? when doing online teaching?
Absolutely! Just think of the "projector" as a "screen share" in Zoom or Google Meet. Here is a webinar I recently did talking about how I use Pear Deck in my online classroom: ua-cam.com/video/1JLkhSGeo78/v-deo.html
Great job Stacey
Thank you for the kind comment! I'm always excited to be able to share helpful tips.
thank you ~ very helpful
Very helpful video. Very clear and concise.
Great tutorial! I use SmartNotebook with my SmartBoard. Is Pear Deck compatible with the SmartNotebook program or is it only compatible with Google Slides or Powerpoint?
The Pear Deck add-on is only available through Google Slides or PowerPoint. I haven't used SmartNotebook before... Is there any way to import those slides into Google Slides or PowerPoint?
You are great because you made it simple to understand. You speak normal unlike some other instructors who play it up and babble. You were actully better then my staff development, thank you!
Thank you so much, Sara!!! Your comment means a lot. Hope your year is going okay!
Thanks a lot for this clear tutorial. Can you please tell me if I can work on it with my gmail personal account and then share it with my students who have a Gsuite account ? Unfortunately my Gsuite school administrator hasblocked any adds on so I can't create it from my Gsuite account. Hope I've been clear. Thank you
Can you share it to you teacher account as a collaborator and go from there? Just a thought.
You are so sweet and beautiful ... And I THANK YOU FOREVER... This will work for me and my students. They don't have much access to connection.. Greetings from Paraguay 🙋🇵🇾
Neatriz Areco I’m so happy this can help you and your students!! Wishing you all the best
Well-done!
Thanks a lot! It's good that it shows their responses. Could we see which of the student responded as in their names? If not Pear Deck, any other that can record their responses? Thanks!
Yes, if you have the premium version of Pear Deck, all of that information is available in the teacher dashboard. Here are more tips on that: ua-cam.com/video/kGjGNdlny9I/v-deo.html
Do you have to use Pear Deck live? I’m thinking for if kids work in digital stations or remotely at different times, I would’ve able to run live.
Pear Deck also has a student-paced mode! I have a video specific to that here: ua-cam.com/video/4HdjITTQrn4/v-deo.html I hope that helps!
Stacey Roshan Thanks!
Thank you! I see that you use Zoom to present these. I'm assuming it would work similarly with Google Meets? We are not allowed to use Zoom in my district.
Absolutely, my school actually used Google Meet in the spring when we went to remote learning and it worked great. Just make sure to take some time at the beginning of the year to explain to them how to open two windows side-by-side. I even made a video about it just to make sure it was clear for everyone :) ua-cam.com/video/4o04k0oNHQ0/v-deo.html
Stacey - I was talking to a few math teachers about my use of Peardeck this summer and they asked how the students did writing formulas? Made me thing of microeconomics and how I will have more formulas than graphs this year compared to Macro this summer. From your experience, were your students able to easily write formulas on pear deck slides or did they do this in a different way? Like for AP Calc FRQs?
All of my online students had a Wacom tablet at home... so they used that to draw with an actual pen. I don't have a great answer when students don't have that added technology available other than to draw with a mouse or type the best they can (I don't have them use equation editors because I just find it's too time consuming and not optimal)
@@StaceyRoshan Gotcha - thanks
If something comes up last minute, can you add a quick slide while you are presenting it?
You can add a question slide on the fly. There is a "new prompt" button on the bottom bar and you choose what type of question type you want. You can't type on the actual slide, so you have to verbally ask the question, but students can interact with the slide. Here's more info: help.peardeck.com/ask-a-new-question
Question - are students always logged into Peardeck, or do they need to log in separately for each individual Pear Deck presentation?
They log in separately by going to joinpd.com and typing in the join code based on the presentation you're asking them to join (you can also provide them a link to the individual presentation).
What did you use for your screen capture to make this video? Very nicely done by the way!
Thank you, Brad! I use Camtasia to record & edit all my videos. Here's a video where I talk through all the tools I use to make my math flipped classroom videos if you're interested in that: ua-cam.com/video/uHfGqfKlx4s/v-deo.html
@@StaceyRoshan Very nice, thanks! I have used Camtasia since it first came out. I used it extensively to teach chemistry. I use a Surface Pro and a Mac...so working out which is best/easier will be something to figure out, but I'm looking forward to the day when the tablet or Wacom One will talk wirelessly to the PC/Mac so I can walk around the classroom and lab with it to show things up on the screen. Again, thanks for the info!
@@bradherrick3197 I dream of the day when a Wacom display tablet is wireless, too!
Nice tutorial BUT for some reason when I go back to add ons after installing the item - there is no Pear Deck menu like at 0:36. Is there a new tutorial that shows what to do if this happens? (I've already tried re-installing but that changed nothing. Thanks.
That's really strange. I've never experienced that. I recommend reaching out to Pear Deck's support: help@peardeck.com
@@StaceyRoshan Thanks for your reply. I used grandma's classic home remedy. Software update and restarted my computer. It works now, of course. But 45 min of my life gone. Lol
Awesome! Thanks!
Great tutorial. I loved it. ❣️ By the way, I’d like to know if this feature is entirely free.
I'm so glad this helped! Some of the features are free and some paid. Here is a breakdown: www.peardeck.com/pricing
Was this video using the free or premium plans with Pear Deck? Sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it. Thanks!
Hi Amanda - I am on Premium. The features like drawing slide type and draggable slide types are premium features. Here is a more complete pricing breakdown: www.peardeck.com/pricing
This is AWESOME!!!!
So happy to be able to share :)
How would you compare Pear Deck to Nearpod (if you've used it)??
I’m obviously a big fan of Pear Deck. If you’re building in google slides already, it just makes so much sense and you don’t have to rebuild anything - just take what you had and add interactivity with pear deck. For me, pear deck allows me to get creative with my own lesson design and then really engage students in those lessons. It’s one of my favorite tools around.
