Updates on Instructional Technology in Aldine!
Nearpod
With 10 to 25 licences (depending on grade level) coming to your campus you can support student learning in new and exciting ways. Students can interact and give instant feedback using draw-it, poll questions, collaboration boards, or take a quiz. Virtual field trips bring the world into your classroom using VR and 360° views. You as a teacher have two choices to deliver your lesson: teacher(live) or student paced. If you don't get a premium license it's OKAY! Most of the tools that are awesome are available on the free accounts!
