Nearpod in Schoology
Dear Cougar Family,
Nearpod is an excellent formative assessment tool that allows you real-time student feedback in an engaging platform. We are fortunate that CSISD has purchased a Nearpod site license that is available to all educators--just use your CSISD Google login! (This is the presentation platform I used in last Monday's professional learning. It is really user-friendly and intuitive to use.)
In addition, Nearpod seamlessly integrates into Schoology, so you can use it in class without having to give students a code. Plus, lessons can either be self-paced or teacher-directed, depending on how you'd like to use them. The Nearpod library has thousands of curated lessons you could adapt, or upload your existing Google Slides or Powerpoints and add in interactive slides easily.
For more information, check out these resources:
- "Introducing the Schoology and Nearpod Integration" on the Schoology Blog
- "Nearpod Partners with Schoology So Teachers Can Embed Interactive Lessons in the Popular Learning and Assessment Management Platform" on WebWire

May you all have an outstanding week!
As always, COUGAR PRIDE!

Absence Reasons in Aesop
If you are traveling with students, choose Student Activities. Also, remember that personal days have to be requested at least 3 days before the absence, so that cannot be the reason listed on same-day absence submissions.
If you are unsure as to what to choose, then please look at this list.
