Pear Deck is one of my go-to tech tool recommendations for the 2015-16 school year. We have a site license at my school, so I have assembled some getting started information, which I will share below:

Introduction:

Pear Deck will help engage students during lecture and presentations. Any presentation created in Google Slides becomes an interactive session using Pear Deck. Students join the live sessions on their own device and become active participants in the slide show.

Primary Goal: to increase in-class participation & engagement
