# Can I See Student Responses without Displaying them on the Projector?

### Overview

Yes! Open the private [Teacher Dashboard](https://5258344.hs-sites.com/the-teacher-dashboard?hsLang=en) (a [Premium](https://www.peardeck.com/pricing/) feature) on your own computer screen or a separate device to see student responses and names privately. Responses always appear in the Dashboard, even if you aren't showing responses on the Projector*.* You can also use the Dashboard View to show all, or highlight and hide individual responses on the Projector View. In this article, we show you how to...

- Hide all responses from the Projector
- Show all responses on the Projector
- Highlight and hide responses on the Projector

[Learn how to show responses on the Projector View](https://help.peardeck.com/how-do-i-see-student-responses?hsLang=en).

#### Hide all answers from the Projector

To hide answers from the Projector, un-click the *Show Responses* button.

Here's a look at the Dashboard during a live Session. We know student responses are not showing on the Projector View because the *Show Responses* button is not engaged*.* So while you always see individual answers in the Dashboard, these answers are not showing on the Projector at the moment:

#### Show all answers on the Projector

To show answers on the Projector, click the *Show Responses* button. Below, the button is in red so we know all answers are currently showing on the Projector View:

...Then, click *Show Responses*. Here's what that looks like on the Projector View. While you can see names in the Dashboard, answers are always displayed anonymously on the Projector view in Pear Deck.
