Substitution and Augmentation - Teachers can use Gen AI-empowered Pear Deck to generate instant lesson slides with text, images, and even video clips based on prompts or lesson objectives. Instead of creating questions from scratch, you can use the AI tools in Pear Deck to simplify and accelerate assessment creation, offering a “first draft” to review and modify as needed.
Modification - Teachers can develop interactive activities such as prompting, drawing, estimating and checking (for math) that encourage students to participate actively and demonstrate their comprehension in engaging ways. The data studio feature in Pear Assessment provides in-depth data at a glance to enable teachers to analyse the areas where their learners succeed and they need support.
Redefinition - The Pear Practice feature offers collaborative game experiences for classrooms, plus personalised learning tracks for solo practice, giving every student a chance to succeed. Teachers can create activities in this platform to boost the motivation of learners and empower them to be more self-directed.
