What Iowa Educators are Saying About Pear Deck
Crystal Bobier
Middle School Teacher
Waukee Community Schools
“I love to use Pear Deck Flashcard Factory with Spanish vocabulary. Sometimes I will use it as an anticipatory activity and sometimes I will use it to review learned vocabulary. Students love to work together and show everyone what they created. I love how I can quickly give the entire class immediate feedback.”
