PearDeck JoinPd – How Does It Work?
This is how the JoinPD / PearDeck Join interactive tool works:
The teacher that wants to share a presentation with it’s students will needs to open a JoinPD account.
Once done, a presentation needs to be created and uploaded.
Next step is to send the JoinPD presentation login code to the students, and invite them to join the presentation.
Naturally, joining the presentation would require all students (or everyone who got the Joinpd code and wants to join) to open a Join PD account as well.
Otherwise, with no account they cannot join the presentation.

JoinPD Active Learning Techniques
Active learning techniques are used for engaging the students throughout their learning process.
This is done by enabling discussion & various interactive activities.
Unlike usual passive lectures, the active learning has enormous benefits, among others – in reducing achievement gaps, and in increasing the students results.
The Pear Deck Teachers Dashboard allows the teachers to anonymously share the student responses with the class.
This can spark interesting discussions and students engagement.
This practice enables even the quietest students in the room to engage and participate, and it ensures that the students will actively engage while seeing their ideas being discussed.
This process helps students engage, be active and learn one from each other, and helps the teacher better understand the students difficulties.
