New to Nearpod? Nearpod is a versatile learning tool that works on any platform, any device, and any learning environment, in-person or at a distance. It complements your use of Seesaw or Google Classroom, gives you a live look into what students are doing, and is packed with over 20 types of learning activities as well as tools that will support all of your learners. Nearpod also has an extensive library of pre-made activities that you can send to your students in a flash, or you can create activities that use a combination of self-made and third-party content. It's one of the best edtech tools for teaching and learning out there, and best of all, almost all of the best features are free for teachers!
In Nearpod 301, I show you some of the features and settings that you need to know about to get the most out of Nearpod. We'll talk about managing your library of lessons, launching activities on the spot without pre-making or selecting them, and some of the features that come with having a paid Nearpod account.
