What Is a Pear Deck Code?
A Pear Deck code is a short, unique code (usually 5 letters) that your teacher gives you. This code lets you join a live interactive presentation that your teacher is running in class. When your teacher starts a Pear Deck session, the system creates a special join code.
Students use this code to connect to the lesson from their own devices — like a laptop, tablet, or phone. Think of the Pear Deck code as a key to enter the classroom activity. Without the code, you cannot join the session.
