Do you have any other questions do you have about Pear Deck?

Post-test survey

Do you feel you have a good understanding of what Pear Deck is/does?

I have a good understanding of what Pear Deck is and what it would do for my students.

Do you feel you have a good understanding of Pear Deck's requirements?

I have a better understanding of Pear Deck's requirements. I was not sure if Pear Deck was a free service for teachers or if it required payment.

What other aspects of the experience could be improved?

I think it would be helpful if there was a tab that I could access the tutorials. The tutorials were extremely helpful, and I know that most teachers would benefit from having them on a side bar if they get lost while they are creating. I think it would also give teachers more ideas of how they could use Pear Deck.

What other comments do you have for the Pear Deck team?

I am excited about Pear Deck! I want to start using it in my classroom now. I think it is so important to have the students show what they know and Pear Deck allows students to do that without being embarrassed of a wrong answer.
