Pear Deck is a tool created for teachers and students. On this platform, teachers can create presentations, and students can join in and participate in the presentations.
To join a presentation as a student, you will need an invitation from the teacher. This invite can be in the form of a link or code. Once you’ve got this code, you are then to go to the sub-domain JoinPD.com and paste the code in the appropriate field before being allowed access to the presentation.
As a teacher, after creating a presentation you will need to give out the presentation code to your students if you want them to join in. But if you don’t know how to generate a JoinPD code, you will be discovering how to do that in a moment. Stay with me.

To generate a Joinpd code, you will need to first of all, create a presentation, once the presentation is created, the code will appear automatically. You can share this code with your students or anyone who you want to participate in the presentation.
