@maestraRodri Using it for predictions, BRILLIANT! I will definitely be trying out that idea. Love it! #NEISDiTechPD

@NEISDiTech A5: I plan on using Pear Deck to create interactive lessons. I want to give my students the opportunity to respond to lesson content individually as well as in small groups or teams. I will definitely be using it for quick formative assessments. #NEISDiTechPD

@SkylarVaughn6 @garrison_c @NEISDiTech YES to this!! Images benefit all the students, but definitely helps ESL students make connections they might have missed otherwise.#NEISDiTechPD

@KMSSci Yes, always nicer to have data on student progress digitally rather than on paper! #NEISDiTechPD

[Heather Mercado @HmercaNEISD]

@NEISDiTech A4: Being able to save the data and the student responses can help teachers monitor student understanding and see which students are not understanding the concept. #NEISDiTechPD

@NEISDiTech A3: With the ability to add questions to assess your students in real time during the lesson, if students are understanding the concept well you could add more rigorous HOT questions to the presentation.#NEISDiTechPD

@NEISDiTech A2: I think it will increase student participation in so many different ways! We can easily get students who are shy/uncomfortable speaking to participate in the lesson thanks to the anonymous student responses. Also love that students can draw in their responses! #NEISDiTechPD

@WalesDawn it's a GIF. Click the area where the blank space is to expand the tweet so you can see it. That's what I had to do as well.

@NEISDiTech A1: To keep students engaged I give my students frequent opportunities to share their thoughts with each other, incorporate movement and games into my lessons, and integrate technology as much as I can. #NEISDiTechPD
