Nearpod is an interactive presentation and assessment tool that can be effectively used in any classroom. This presentation can include polls, quizzes, images, drawing boards, videos and the list goes on. Many teachers use nearpod to asses their students, but it does not have to be used as an assessment tool. If you wanted to teach your lesson to students and make an interactive poll or video, the students can go through these presentations at their own pace and the teacher can keep track of where each student is and what he/she has accomplished so far. The good thing about this website is that students can not skip ahead of information just to get to the end. The teacher is in control of everything. This app is really awesome and offers so many options for teachers across America! You can create your own nearpod, or use one of thousands of educational nearpods that teachers have already made. You can use these presentations for any subject, and even take your class on a virtual field trip! Some of the most positive characteristics of nearpod are that it automatically engages and amazes students, shares your content and assessments faster than ever before, and your students can join your nearpod session from any pc or device anywhere! You can have a class study session with everyone in their own homes-how cool is that? I will definitely be implementing nearpod in my future classroom because the opportunities that it holds seem to be endless. I feel like this could make me a better educator because not only can I create my own engaging lessons while incorporating technology, but I can also share ideas from other teachers that have worked in their classroom and adjust them to fit my classroom!
