We've had a district Pear Deck subscription for quite a few years now. Their student data privacy policy is fine and they have signed the Maine Student Privacy Alliance exhibit E (which means that any Maine district can latch on to their agreement).

We've had great experiences with Pear Deck and the Chrome ad-on/extension makes it that much easier for teachers to use in the classroom (or remotely).

Good morning, Hive Mind -

Looking seriously at a Pear Deck subscription for teachers.  I'm hearing vague rumors that districts won't allow it.  Security concerns, maybe?  Anyone in this group have experience with that platform?  

I'm comparing Nearpod and Pear Deck and thinking Pear Deck has less of a learning curve and is friendlier for kids in a wider age range.

Thoughts appreciated.
