Why Nearpod?
Nearpod is an amazing tool that is available on any web-enabled device. It's a slide presentation on steroids that YOU, the teacher control. With the capability to gather formatively assess your students, move non-linearly through your lesson, track student participation, and by allowing your students to use the tools their drawn to, Nearpod is a must have in any classroom.
Nearpod...
- delivers instruction on the screens that matter most in a 1:1 class, not just the one a teacher has access to,
- transitions instruction to a learning activity, not just a teaching activity,
- creates a safe environment for students because knowledge and insights can be shared anonymously,
- liberates you from the front of the room and allows you to be where the learning goes on (makes for a great classroom management tool too),
- reports help you to
- know the effectiveness of instruction (instead of estimating it by test results)
- do informed differentiation
- reduce the need of more formative testing
- show accurate data on student progress in parent-teacher meetings
- uses existing learning resources (Powerpoints, video's, questions, websites etc) to build engaging learning activities that help you step up the SAMR ladder without you even trying
