Wait a minute! You aren't using Nearpod?
If you haven't used Nearpod yet, I strongly encourage you to build just one lesson and see what a powerful tool you have to engage students in learning. Currently I have 10 Premium licenses available to the first 10 people that create and present a Nearpod lesson to their class and share the link with me.
If you have no clue or need a refresher on Nearpod be sure to take this Self-Paced Webinar.
