hey iReady, i’m a bit confused, is there a way for parents to track our kid’s progress on PearDeck? I kinda wish they made it more clear cuz i wasn’t sure if it’s just for teachers or if parents can peek in too. thanks!
Hey! Usually, PearDeck is more teacher-focused, but I think you can ask your child’s teacher for updates or if there’s a parent portal. Hope this helps!
why we gotta use joinpd.com anyway, feels like just another site to remember. Can’t everything just be on one platform, would make life easier smh
Absolutely love the idea of interactive features in Pear Deck! It’s so crucial for engaging my students, especially with virtual learning aspects. Can’t wait to incorporate this into my lessons. Great info, i-Ready!
I’ve been using Pear Deck for a while now, but I think it’s important to address that while Pear Deck offers a variety of interactive components, the effectiveness largely depends on how these tools are utilized by the teacher. It’s not just about adding technology into the classroom; it’s about integrating it in a way that enhances learning. Curious to see if others have found strategies that work well?
Do you have any specific activities or Pear Deck features you’d recommend for science classes?
Great point, Rob! Incorporating Pear Deck thoughtfully into lesson plans has really transformed my classroom engagement. Looking forward to sharing tips!
oh great, another platform to figure out. cuz none of us had anything better to do, right? let’s just add more confusion to the pile.
