Introduction
Joinpd.com is indeed a subdomain of Pear Deck, a platform that enables interactive presentations for classrooms. JoinPD Teachers use Pear Deck to create engaging presentations, and Joinpd.com allows students to access these presentations using a specific code or link provided by the teacher.
Students can join and participate in the interactive sessions without needing a Pear Deck account. However, they may need a Gmail or Live ID to sign up or log in, especially if the teacher requires authentication for participation.
Pear Deck integrates with Google Slides, allowing educators to create interactive presentations directly within Google Slides. This integration enhances the functionality and interactivity of the presentations.
Additionally, Pear Deck offers the option for educators to enable anonymous enrollment, allowing students to join the session without revealing their identities, which can be beneficial for certain classroom activities or discussions.
