Integrate, Embed, or Share?

Like most tools Pear Deck can either be embedded or you can opt to direct your students to a URL with a code. Integration is not an option with individual or free accounts. It is recommended that if you are selecting the student paced option, embedding is recommended, although if you're presenting live, it's easiest to just share the URL and have your students enter the code.
