Nearpod
If you are not regularly using Nearpod, please try to start investigating ways you might be able to incorporate it into your classroom. If we don't use it, we may lose it, and we don't want that to happen.
If you're unsure about where to start, take a look at the self-paced "course" Megan Endicott and I designed last year. It should get you started in the right direction. More training and resources will be forthcoming.
