It’s a great tool to use during the end of the year because you can view progress in real-time to monitor student understanding across all lessons. The Nearpod Team handpicked lessons from our lesson library that are ideal for Student-Paced mode, allowing students to complete when it’s most convenient for them (& their parents) at home and during the summer!
