Nearpod is a platform that allows learning to be interactive in the classroom. Whether in person or virtual, students can learn with Nearpod wherever they have a device. Teachers can customize their presentations to contain various supports like discussion boards, quizzes, 360 viewer, videos, and more.

Check out the following ways Nearpod can be used in the classroom:

1. Simple presentation delivery

3. Distributing student resources
