Nearpod

Self-Paced Professional Development Course

What is Nearpod?

Nearpod is a classroom tool for teachers to engage students with interactive lessons & assessments that students can access on any device. Teachers can control the lesson, pushing content as needed to student devices, or give student access to go through content at their own pace. Watch the 40-second video below to preview what Nearpod has to offer!

Implement

Use Nearpod with your students! The best way to learn is to dive in!
If you want to practice before you try it with your real class, feel free to email me and ask me to be your practice "student". (Sorry, but that offer only works for Southwest Parke teachers.)
Try using a pre-made lesson from the Nearpod collection.
Try creating your own Nearpod lesson, embedding all the content you want students to see and use during your lesson. Be sure to include interactive pieces every few slides to keep engagement high!
Use the Nearpod Help Center below (or me) if you get stuck.
