Nearpod Collaborate Settings for Student Paced Lessons
Check out this VIDEO for tips on how to adjust the settings in Nearpod so that your students can save students notes, comment on Collaborate boards in student-paced lessons, see quiz results in student-paced lessons, and resubmit answers. Let me know if you have any questions.
Enabling Student Notes During Nearpod Lessons
In order for the student notes feature to work the teacher must enable it. Here are the detailed instructions on how to enable the student notes:
Schoology Nearpod Lesson Links for Each Class
In order to see data reports for each of your classes, you will want to create different Nearpod Lesson links in your Schoology courses. Once the links are created, you can edit the names for each class period. See the example in the picture below.

Messages from the Warrior Repair Center
Students should not be bringing their chargers to school. They are supposed to stay at home. Please help encourage our awesome students to leave chargers at home for the following reasons:
- They are easy to lose and mix up with other student’s chargers. If a student turns in another student’s charger at the end of the year, they don’t credit for a charger being turned in. The student who the charger was assigned to gets the credit (and a refund if they already purchased a replacement).
- Chargers are NOT covered by the $35 insurance.
- They are trip hazards in the classroom. There are already enough obstacles in the classrooms, the last thing we need is cables across the floor added to the mix.
Remember student who are carrying their Chromebook without a case you need to pick it up and turn it into the Repair Center.
Thanks to everyone who sends students to me with a work order and their case. It makes a big difference in helping them prepare for the expectations in high school. Not to mention keeps their device safe in transit (we are kind of short on supply right now…)
