Linking Pear Deck Account in GoGuardian

With Pear Deck Instant Share, teachers can open Pear Deck sessions for students, access Pear Deck templates, and create new decks directly from their GoGuardian classes. This integration between GoGuardian Teacher and Pear Deck reduces time and effort for both teachers and students by eliminating the need to send each student a link or have them enter a Join Code. The below directions are steps for linking Pear Deck in GoGuardian.

1. Access Your Clever Portal and locate your GoGuardian icon. You may need to click on the District Page Tab to find the icon if this is your first time accessing Clever.

2. In GoGuardian, locate the Give Pear Deck a Try icon in the bottom left navigation. If this icon/area does not appear, navigate to the Pear Deck tab within an active GoGuardian class session to link accounts (as shown in step 4 below).

3. Select Link Account when the "great news!" box appears and follow an account selection prompt. Enter your NNPS Google account credentials to finish this process, which links your GoGuardian account with your Pear Deck account.

4. Once the GoGuardian and Pear Deck account linking process is complete, a new Pear Deck tab will be visible while GoGuardian classes are in session.

Clicking the Pear Deck tab will provide the following options explained below in further detail:
