Let's Talk Nearpod

Another free resource is Nearpod. It has interactive lessons for just about every grade level and subject. A lot of their lessons are free and you can save them to administer with your students when ever you see fitting. Because of our current situation Nearpod is completely FREE!😄 You can administer live lessons where your students follow your lead. This allows you to control their computer screen by moving from slide to slide when you do. Or you can choose the student paced delivery where students can complete their Nearpod lesson on their own.

Here is a quick review of the perks of Nearpod: 

1. You can communicate with your students live
2. Administer any assessment or comprehension questions with teacher friendly reports 
3. User friendly, Google Slides or Power Point presentations can be uploaded 
4. All students need is a log-in code or link to join 
5. Nearpod is completely free right now (lessons, live & student paced mode)!

Here is a video of my students and I hosting a collaborative board live! This made my day since we were able to connect and chat during the beginning of our remote learning journey.

If I persuaded you to incorporate Nearpod into your teaching here is a video of how to create a free account, explore their lessons library and lastly how to administer a Nearpod lesson. 

Thank you for reading/watching my blog. I hope you are taking advantage of all of these free resources that allow us to connect with our students on a digital platform. Thank you for your time and I hope you are all staying safe and healthy. 

Learning & Growing,
