How Does Joinpd.com Work?
1.Create an account
You must first register for an account on Joinpd.com in order to use the service. Use your Google, Microsoft, or Apple account to register. After setting up your account, you can begin making interactive presentations.
2. Making a Presentation
The ‘Create a Lesson’ button should be clicked after logging in. You have the option of starting from scratch or importing an existing PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation. ‘Start from Scratch’ should be chosen if you’re beginning from scratch. Select a slide’s layout, then fill it with content. Then, by clicking the “Ask a Question” button and choosing the kind of question you wish to add, you can include interactive inquiries.
3. Delivering a Lesson
The ‘Start Lesson’ button should be clicked to begin teaching your lesson. You will be given a code to provide to your students so they can attend your session on Joinpd.com. Students can respond to questions as you go through the slides, and you can keep an eye on how they respond.
4. Controlling Student comments
You can read student comments in a variety of ways on Joinpd. The ‘Overlay’ mode gives a fast overview of the class’s responses by overlaying all responses on a single slide. The ‘Grid’ mode displays responses in a grid format so you can see each one separately. The ‘List’ view, which is useful for comments with a lot of text, displays responses in a scrolling list.
5. Recording and Examining Sessions
You can save the session once your presentation is over. You can subsequently review all the slides and responses because it saves everything. Go to the ‘Sessions’ page on the dashboard to access a saved session.
6. Providing feedback
Using Joinpd.com, you may offer tailored feedback. Simply pick out a student’s answer, enter your criticism, then press the “Send Feedback” button. The following time they access the session, students can view the feedback.
7. Giving out homework
You can also give homework assignments or tests on Joinpd.com. Simply prepare a presentation as normal, but choose “Assign Homework” instead of “Start Lesson.” Give your students the assignment code and a due date. The task can then be finished at their own pace.
