How Can You Use Nearpod in Your Classroom?

• Switch up your presentation. Instead of running Powerpoint or Google Slides, you can use Nearpod.
• Create personalized or differentiated experiences. With Nearpod you can share your lesson with the entire class, a small group, or even one student. Provide key focused support for your students that need it.
• Live assessments are easy with Nearpod. With the built in quizzes, polls, and whiteboard tools, you can check student responses in real time as you move through your lessons.
• Nearpod is great for open ended tasks. The structure of the slides will keep your students on task, but tools like "Draw It" and "Open Ended Questions" will allow them to demonstrate their understanding in a variety of ways.
• Take the show on the road. Nearpod can be used synchronously or asynchronously, meaning you can work with students in real time or open up the lessons to be completed by students on their time. Great for those times when students must miss class, when time is short, or students just need to see the material to review a few more times.
