Pear Deck Giveaway & Google Slides Updates

1. Just wanted to pass this Pear Deck post along. There is a chance to win premium access to Pear Deck for one year. You have to sign-up by tomorrow though. I signed up too, so if I "win", I'll pass it on to one of you to use with your kiddos. The post itself is also a great overview of how Pear Deck works with Slides.

2. Google Slides also has some awesome features being released tomorrow. An overview of what will be new :
  • Add-ons - Yessss! Looking forward to exploring these further.
  • Grid-View - see all your slides in one shot and rearrange them
  • Skip Slide -Instead of deleting a slide so it is not seen when presenting, you can now skip it to keep it in your original presentation.
  • Link Slides from multiple presentations
  • Insert Diagrams - Nice!!
  • Google Keep integration - if you or your students are not using Google Keep, you might want to check it out! Awesome note-taking, organizational and collaboration tool. Users will be able to pull content straight from their notes to their slide.

As always, give us a shout if you want to collaborate on any teaching & learning explorations.
