Tech Tuesday (Nearpod)

Hello everyone,

During the upcoming Tech Tuesday we are going to take a closer look at Nearpod.

Here are the highlights of what Nearpod can do:
– engage students with interactive lessons
– control student devices
– share content in real time
– instantly project student work from student ipad
– more, way, way more

Nearpod enables you to send information directly to student ipads simultaneously. You can also have students diagram, draw, label, match or whatever to a slide and then give instant feedback to students based on what they send you. Nearpod is ideal for giving students an opportunity to share their thinking on mathematics problems, diagrams, graphic organizers, maps, and much more. You basically send out a problem to students simultaneously and give them an opportunity to work on it individually, paired or grouped. You can see all of their screens while the students are working. You can select students to show their work on the projector screen and/or student iPads. Unlike working on slate whiteboard, students working on the iPad can have their work instantly shared and captured. There are LOTS of possibilities!
