Feedback is a gift and our loving community definitely knows we love to receive it \ud83d\ude42 So we\u2019ve listened to educators\u2019 ideas and suggestions and voil\u00e0! A new version of Nearpod, full of surprises, is ready to download.<\/h5>\n

Here are the top new features we have added recently:<\/p>\n

1. New<\/strong> Draw it<\/strong>: One of our most popular features, the Draw it, gets a major redesign: Students can now use more colors, a highlighter, add multiple images (and resize them!), add text, and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Student Notes<\/strong>: Nearpod\u2019s note-taking feature is looking better than ever! This redesign is more than just a facelift, students can now more easily navigate to notes on past slides and organize them. Check it out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Fill in the Blanks<\/strong>: This classic \u201cdrag & drop\u201d activity is now part of Nearpod. Share it with your students and allow them to have fun while learning. It\u2019s super easy to do!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Student scrubber<\/strong>: When in self-paced mode, students can navigate the presentation and jump to any slide in an instant by dragging the Student scrubber.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Download Nearpods as PDFs<\/strong>: Want to save your Nearpod lessons to go over them when offline or print them? It\u2019ll only take you a few seconds! Find the option at the Nearpod \u201cMore\u201d menu.<\/p>\n

\"blog-34\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Copy\/Paste<\/strong>: If you want to use the same slide or interactive feature within a Nearpod or even in a different one, you now have the option to select it and copy\/paste it.<\/p>\n

\"blog-35\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Math Symbols<\/strong><\/b>: We have added a new functionality that gives students the possibility to add Math symbols when answering polls, quizzes, or open ended questions.<\/p>\n

\"blog-36\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Matching Pairs (BETA): In this classic memory game, students are prompted to find a pair of matching pictures or texts. It can be used to enhance students\u2019 visual memory or just as an icebreaker to relax students before or after a lesson. (Note: This game is still in BETA and we would love to hear your feedback).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
