Interactive, multimedia slide shows engage students and provide feedback. Students become active participants in their education while teachers get valuable feedback on student learning.
Nearpod is the go-to tool for interactive presentations and assessments. At the Nearpod website, teachers create their own multimedia presentations, import their Google Slides or PowerPoint presentations, or use a growing library of pre-made offerings. They can upload videos, images, audio clips, and PDF files and can embed multiple-choice quizzes, slide shows, polls, draw-its (students write directly on a slide), and open-ended questions. Teachers launch the presentation and monitor progress either from the website or through the app. Using the Nearpod app on their devices, students input their names to access the content and submit responses.
