Nearpod Training

Looking to change the way you teach? Nearpod allows teachers to create tasks that were previously inconceivable. With the explosion of technology devices available for engaging student learning, the Nearpod program provides educators with an effective yet creative option for the development and delivery of lesson content.
Nearpod provides users with options for differentiation, opinions, videos, exploration and recall while recording student responses for grading. Using Nearpod in a traditional face-to-face classroom or synchronous online cyber class allows for student-learning objectives to be delivered with immediate feedback on responses. Either way, students and teachers are viewing the same screen, allowing teachers to monitor live student progress while keeping every student actively engaged in the lesson.
Join technology coach Penny Johnson as she guides you through a hands-on exploration of all that Nearpod has to offer. This session will address both the free and paid version of Nearpod. Participants are required to bring their own laptop in order to fully participate. In addition to laptops, Tablets are also recommended. However, all participants must have a laptop in order to build Nearpod presentations throughout the day.
