Students no longer need to sign into a Pear Deck profile to join classes. They can join using their Google or MS Office 365 accounts if the instructor allows it. The teacher starts the Pear Deck session by providing students with a Joining Code or Link. The student either taps on the link or goes to the website to input the Join Code. If email login is required by the presenter, the student may be prompted to sign in or choose an email account before the session starts. Once in the session, students can view the slideshow and answer questions.
