Nearpod
Share your lesson with every student
What Is Nearpod?
Nearpod is an interactive digital presentation and assessment tool. A teacher shares a unique Pin (sign in code) with the class. This gives the user(s) access to the specific presentation/lecture/lesson. Now, all devices are synced! The teacher 'drives' the lesson by advancing slides while the student has the freedom to interact with the content on each slide as it's displayed. It is also nice to put the content directly into the hands of each student - no matter the seating location within the classroom.
Teachers can host assessments in real time using the same process. As students begin to answer in a safe, private manner, the results are automatically displayed to the teacher's device. The teacher has the option to share results (with names removed) so that deeper discussion can occur among the group.
