Nearpod Add-on for Google Slides
Nearpod can convert presentations into a Nearpod from inside the Nearpod platform. With the Google Slides add-on, Nearpod slides can be created inside Google. This means that teachers can collaborate on a Google slide presentation from Google Drive, use the Nearpod add-on to make the slide deck more engaging, and embed assessments. When the slides are ready for use, each teacher gets their own copy of it in Nearpod by selecting 'Save to Nearpod.' Watch this Tech Tip Tuesday Video showing how to use the Nearpod add-on in Google Slides.
