Summary

Nearpod is a web-based presentation creation tool that includes interactive slides, videos, and game-based learning activities. These either can be in-person or asynchronous lessons. Nearpod encourages students to enter responses even if they don’t want to speak up in class. Thus, keeping them focused on the instructor’s teaching and while giving feedback. In addition, it offers reports on the lessons that are shareable for assessment and statistics. Participants will need to bring devices with internet access to take part in the sample lessons.
