Nearpod

The Nearpod platform enables teachers to use their Laptops or iPads to manage content on students' iPads or Chromebooks. It combines presentation, collaboration, and real-time assessment tools into one integrated solution. A teacher can create presentations that can contain Quizzes, Polls, Videos, Images, Drawing-Boards, Web Content and so on. They can also access over 7K K-12 standards-aligned lessons.

How do I login to Nearpod?

All core K-5 teachers have received an email with their Nearpod username and password information.
