Another learning platform that we have been using since 2014, but have found invaluable in 2020 is Nearpod. It is built for distance learning, hybrid, and school-based settings. Nearpod makes every lesson interactive - so you can take your students from passive to active learners. During quarantine the district purchased additional premium accounts. If you are interested in upgrading email a Technology Integration Mentor for more details.

The best part about Nearpod is that teachers don’t have to start creating lessons from scratch. They can upload and make any of their PowerPoints, Google Slides, and any video interactive. Teachers can now even upload videos directly from YouTube (just like Edpuzzle). Nearpod helps boost student participation with collaborative activities and formative assessments like Virtual Reality, Polls, Collaborate Boards, and game-based quizzes. Nearpod provides teachers with student insights in real-time and in post-session reports. As we enter a whole new way of teaching this year, it's never a bad idea to have a few additional tools in your teaching toolbox. The Technology Integration Mentors will be providing more professional development as the year progresses, so be on the lookout for our electronic flyers.
