1. Cost- There are two options. The first is a free plan that gives access to basic materials. The second option is the paid version with premium features. They offer pricing for individual teachers and school wide plans.

2. Ease of use- The interface is fairly user friendly. I find that students from third grade to sixth grade have been able to interact without issue. It also works alongside Google Slides and PowerPoint easily.

3. Type of tool- Pear Deck is marketed as a tool to create interactive presentations.

4. Functionality (What does it do?)- Pear Deck allows educators to add interactive elements such as quick checks, discussions, polls, and drawing activities into presentations. It also gives feedback to teachers on how students answer and lets teachers provide feedback to each student instantly.

5. Audience- The audience for this app is teachers and students from K-12. However, I have had professors use it in higher education as well.

6. Multimedia learning principle(s) supports

1. Multimedia Principle- Uses words and images together to promote learning

2. Signaling Principle- Teachers can highlight text on the screen to bring attention to important parts for students

3. Active Learning- It promotes active learning on the part of students by engaging in the presentation and not just listening to the presentation.

I would like to use Pear Deck in the following ways with students.

1. Practice note-taking: The online presentation can allow students to take notes on the side as they learn. My students struggle to take notes and not just copy word for word. I would like to try this to strengthen their note taking skills.

2. Student Teacher groups- I like to use student lead groups in my classroom. I could assign the presentation and have some student leaders teach using the presentation to other students. It also will still collect and report data back to me during that time.

3. Exit Tickets- I could use Pear Deck to add in a variety of exit tickets to the end of my presentation for lessons.
