Teachers Can Now Create Standards-Aligned Content in Under 30 Seconds with Pear Deck’s New ‘Instant Pear Decks’ Feature
2024年8月2日 - 3:29AM
Pear Deck, GoGuardian’s widely used flagship instructional product,
today launched Instant Pear Decks, a new feature that enables
teachers to create standards-aligned classroom content in under 30
seconds. Using generative AI technology, Instant Pear Decks
seamlessly generate customized lessons, mini-instructions, and
activities based on selected grade level, subject, academic
standard, and user prompts.
This new feature from Pear Deck comes at a time
when managing workload remains a top pain point for educators, with
more than 84% of teachers reporting they feel as though there is
not enough time during their regular work hours to do tasks like
lesson planning and paperwork.
“Instant Pear Decks allow teachers to instantly
create interactive, thought-provoking lessons that engage and
ignite students’ interests, encouraging students to actively
explore topics together,” said Tyler Shaddix, GoGuardian’s
Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer. “Imagine a full
eighth-grade algebra lesson built around your local community's
landmarks, with all of the best parts of a Pear Deck lesson mixed
in. Teachers can even go a step further and tailor their lesson
around specific student needs such as reading level or
language.”
Teachers can use the AI-generated Instant Pear
Decks feature to:
- Create standards-aligned content: Using
advanced language models, Instant Pear Decks can generate
high-quality, interactive lessons that are standards-aligned,
ensuring they meet the diverse needs of all students.
- Enhance customization: Whether it is teaching
math in the context of a local town hero, or a science concept
using characters from a popular video game, Instant Pear Decks
enable educators to customize lessons for their specific classroom
environment.
- Transform traditional materials: Translate
handwritten notes or old printed worksheets into digital
interactive lessons within seconds by taking a picture and
uploading into Instant Pear Decks.
- Facilitate project-based learning: Enhance
collaborative projects with tailored content that supports deep
learning and student engagement.
- Review before tests: Take a picture of a test
or specific test items, and let the Instant Pear Decks feature
analyze and generate interactive practice items based on the
content.
A beta version of the Instant Pear Decks feature
was released to numerous educators across the country, and has
received early praise:
"I teach 6th grade ELA and used the AI tool to
generate five standards-based lessons. The lessons ranged from
character development (as it pertained to a specific novel - the AI
knew characters' names!), to nouns, adjectives and narrative
writing. The tool saved me valuable time by effectively covering
all important elements of each topic, and so quickly. The lessons
were relevant, and the tool was so easy to use. Love that the
slides are editable! This is a game-changer for educators seeking
to optimize their teaching and work more efficiently." - Stacy B.,
Grade 6 ELA Teacher, Pennsylvania
“Instant Pear Decks is a game-changer for
educators! I love that it can transform my end-of-unit assessments
into interactive lessons, truly embodying the pedagogy of backwards
design. Instant Pear Decks can not only save teachers precious
planning time but also makes sure that every lesson directly aligns
with their learning standards and assessment questions. The result
is a more focused, engaging, and effective learning experience for
students which deserves an A+ in my opinion!" - Emily Tighe,
District Digital Learning Coach, Fayette County Public Schools
“The AI tool in Pear Deck is amazing! It is a time
saver for sure” - Dr. Cecelia Gillam, Grade 10-12th, AP
Environmental Science and Honors Biology, Benjamin Franklin High
School, New Orleans, LA
