Pear Deck: Culturally Sustaining STEM

I created an interactive lesson and presentation to instruct graduate students using Pear Deck.

Project Overview

The Project: A presentation and discussion on culturally sustaining STEM education, showcasing Pear Deck's capabilities to include student agency in lectures.

The Tool: Pear Deck integrates into presentation media. Learners can access presentations through a code or link on their devices. Pear Deck allows student responses, questions, or answers. Slides are reviewable.

The Audience: University of Florida graduate students and teachers interested in STEM teaching strategies.

My Focus: Interactivity, Student Engagement, Instructional Design, Cultural Responsiveness

The Challenge

Learners process knowledge in various ways. A lecture and non-interactable presentation does not appeal to all learning styles.

My Approach

Integrate Pear Deck into learning materials to engage students and create an accessible, learner-focused experience.

The Outcome

Curriculum that thrives on learner engagement, reducing teacher workload and increasing the transfer of knowledge.
