I am going to describe how you can use this code to join a session at Joinpd (Pear Deck). All the procedures will be discussed simply so that you can understand them better. Let’s start.
JoinPD For Pear Deck – An Introduction
JoinPD is a subdomain of Pear Deck for teachers and students to join sessions and presentations. On this website, teachers generate a 5-digit code and share it with students, and students can join the session through the code.
The students can only join the session when the teacher shares the code and allows students to join. However, Join PD is used by teachers, students, and educational institutes to deliver lectures, quizzes, and presentations.
