The content found at Nearpod and Flocabulary is a clear differentiator. Here are ways to share about this in your project:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/app.nearpod.com\/?pin=6A59C60DDC46FB27D631B69004372A65-1&amp;he=true\" width=\"400\" height=\"364\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nbsp-nearpod-platinum\"><span style=\"color: #008aff;\">&nbsp;<b>Nearpod Platinum<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add the Ethnic Studies bundle to your project <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Donors Choose only). <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These lessons uncover untold narratives to build a diverse, more complete picture of history. Help students see themselves in the history they\u2019re learning with inclusive, culturally relevant primary and secondary sources. This bundle addresses equity and diversity in social studies instruction.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access culturally relevant holiday lessons and provide a more inclusive approach to all holidays during the school year. Example of lessons: Diwali, Norwuz and Yom Kippur.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-flocabulary-lite\"><span style=\"color: #008aff;\"><b>Flocabulary Lite:<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Representation matters, whether it\u2019s in a big Hollywood blockbuster or a classroom. Flocabulary\u2019s videos show students around the world of different ages, ethnicities, abilities and genders.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #008aff;\"><b>Student engagement and cultural relevance &#8211; <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students aren&#8217;t learning to their full potential unless they&#8217;re emotionally engaged with the content. With that in mind, Flocabulary creates high-interest hip-hop songs that appeal to students&#8217; interests and provide an opportunity to create a positive emotional connection in the classroom. Because of the popularity of hip-hop music among all types of students, students of all backgrounds find our programs motivating and engaging. The inclusion of hip-hop music as a learning tool in the classroom is one way to help students recognize that they already possess many capabilities that can be used to develop positive identities (Berry, 1994; Sullivan, 2003). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-call-out-multi-sensory-learning\"><span style=\"color: #008aff;\"><b>2. Call out multi-sensory learning<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multi-sensory teaching isn\u2019t just limited to reading and listening. Every lesson won\u2019t use all of a child\u2019s senses (taste, smell, touch, sight, hearing and movement). But in most multi-sensory lessons, students engage with the material in more than one way.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nearpod\u2019s interactive activities and dynamic media <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">multi-sensory learning. Students can watch a video or read text. They can respond to a question in a way that plays off their strength &#8211; drawing, writing or adding an image via Google Safe Search. Gamification, simulations, 3D images and virtual reality are&nbsp;built into the lesson. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flocabulary&#8217;s unique approach combines songs, reading passages and exercises to create a multi-sensory learning environment. The use of music and rhyming text as a supplement to reading has been shown to increase acquisition and retention of academic content (Wolfe and Horn, 1993; Wallace, 1994).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-always-have-a-project-up\"><span style=\"color: #008aff;\"><b>3.
