Quick Prompts let you run GoGuardian Pear Deck’s assessment and engagement tools without a prepared presentation. Select a ready-to-use interactive slide prompt, launch it mid-lesson, and every student responds on their own screen, just as they would in a full Pear Deck session. Responses save automatically for later review.
Quick Prompt activities require a Pear Deck Premium subscription.
Quick Prompts work well for situations such as:
  • Running a low-stakes pop quiz as a retrieval practice tool
  • Launching an entrance ticket as students arrive, or an exit ticket as they leave
  • Opening a whole-class discussion when a student asks a question worth exploring together
