JoinPD Login Pear Deck : https //app.peardeck.com/join

To join Pear Deck, go to joinpd.com or go directly to app.peardeck.com/join: When you integrate Pear Deck into Schoology, you turn a Pear Deck session into a command in joinpd. com. This gives your students instant access to the session in Schoology without needing a code or link to join, like a traditional Pear Deck presentation session. Not only will the answers you collect be automatically saved to your Sessions menu as usual, but Schoology also gives you access to your answers through the Teacher Dashboard, all from within Schoology.

This integration is only available to users who currently have a district or school-wide subscription to Pear Deck. Check with your school’s Pear Deck administrator for eligibility, or contact he**@pe******.com with questions.

Create a Pear Deck assignment

1. open schoology.
2. Go to Courses. You can create a new course or open an existing one.
3. On the course page, click Add Material and select Add File/Link/External Tool.
4. Select External Tool from the pop-up window.
5. In the Tool Provider section, click the drop-down menu and select Pear Deck.
6. Customize your assignment with a title, parameters, rating option, etc. The URL, consumer key and shared secret are already installed for you.
   • Make sure to check the Enable Grading box if you want students to be able to click Submit Work in Schoology when they are done with this lesson.
7. Click Submit to return to the Courses page. Your order has already been placed. If you are not ready to continue setting up the session, you can unpublish the task until you have set up the session.

Start your assignment

1. Have an interactive Pear Deck for Google Slides or a PowerPoint Online Slides file ready to present. Presentation files are automatically saved to your Google Drive or OneDrive and you select the ones you want to present to students in step 5.
2. Open the Schoolology Courses page.
3. Click on the Pear Deck task you created. Note that you can give it any title when you create the assignment, but in this case I called it Pear Deck Assignment:
4. Note that the job has already been posted. You can use the gear icon to unpublish the assignment while setting up the session to show to your students only when you’re ready.
5. Click the Select a file from Drive or OneDrive button. The first time you present a Pear Deck file in Schoology, you must log in to Pear Deck.
6. In the file picker, find and select the Google Slides or PowerPoint Online Slides file from Drive or OneDrive that you want to present to your students.
7. Choose your lesson mode. Depending on the lesson mode you choose, one of the presenter views (projector or whiteboard) will open for you in Schoology.
   1. Student-paced mode (asynchronous – recommended for this integration): Choosing this mode opens the private dashboard view so you can see student names and their responses in real time. When students open this Handout, they get simple navigation buttons in their student view to navigate the slides in your presentation session and answer interactive questions.
   2. Instructor Pace (Synchronous) Mode: When you select this mode, the projector view opens and the answers are anonymous by default in this view. The student view of the slides syncs with your slide in projector view, so you must click on the slides for students to view and answer interactive questions.
8. You have now created a new Pear Deck session for your class within Schoology.

Have students complete your assignment

In order for students to “turn in” their Pear Deck assignment, the Pear Deck session must be in Student Pacing mode. The student view is now available on your students’ Schoology page, allowing students to easily:

1. Login to Schoology.
2. Select your course.
3. Click Pear Deck Assignment to open the student view of the session. They can scroll through the slides and answer interactive questions.
4. When they reach the end, they click Submit Work to submit the assignment.

Grade your assignment

In Schology, you can grade assignments for completion and view assignment status for individual students. You can also open the Dashboard to view responses and manually assign points in the Gradebook. You can also rate individual responses on the Pear Deck.

2. Select Grades under Course Options. Use the Schoology tools to customize your grading options.
3. Return to the Courses page and click on the assignment to open the Teacher Dashboard. Click on the slides in the Dashboard to see the individual answers with their names (when Projector View is open, click the three-dot menu to open the Dashboard in a new tab).
   1. You can return to the gradebook to adjust the point values.
   2. On the Dashboard you can provide feedback for individual students with Pear Deck Teacher Feedback.
