Using Pear Deck and Microsoft Teams to Collaborate and Support Students During the Pandemic

Peardeck Interactive Lesson Using Pear Deck and Microsoft Teams to Collaborate and Support Students During the Pandemic

During the 2020 pandemic, teaching at Cullen Middle School in HISD presented new challenges that required creativity and teamwork to overcome. To stay connected and provide meaningful instruction, I began using Pear Deck alongside Microsoft Teams to support my 6th-grade students and collaborate with my team.

Pear Deck was a game-changer for keeping students engaged in a virtual setting. The interactive features allowed me to deliver lessons in real time, see each student’s responses, and adjust on the spot to meet their needs. It became a virtual space where students could interact with content more deeply, even from home.

Alongside Pear Deck, Microsoft Teams made collaboration with my colleagues easy and efficient. We used Teams to share assignment ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and strategize on meeting our students’ educational needs. This partnership was essential, as we could quickly align our goals, share resources, and check in on students who needed extra support.

Combining Pear Deck’s interactive lessons with Teams’ seamless communication helped us create a connected, supportive learning experience for our students during an unprecedented time. Join my interactive lesson by clicking right now Peardeck Interactive Lesson.
