You may be an expert when it comes to leveraging the power of Nearpod in your classroom, but it\u2019s important to recognize all the different ways you can infuse Nearpod into your practice to enter. Here are some tips and tricks for how to get there by expanding your idea of how Nearpod can support your instruction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making the most out of your Nearpod experience during the challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Teaching is about imparting skills and information into learners through a variety of means, but great teachers all have something in common- they are continually assessing and reflecting on whether students have grasped the concepts at hand. <\/strong>Nearpod provides the means to do just that in so many different environments and technology landscapes, all while ensuring the learning experiences are engaging, accessible, and inclusive for students. Let\u2019s review a few of my favorite ways to infuse Nearpod into your instructional practice, and keep in mind each of these will make you eligible for entry into our contest! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a former HS social studies teacher, I leaned heavily on the lecture format to deliver information about events in US and World History. I prided myself on being the most enthusiastic and captivating orator I could possibly be and yet the evaluative feedback I got was always the same, \u201cWe\u2019d like to hear the students more.\u201d They were right. I found Nearpod\u2019s platform and immediately recognized its ability to transform my lectures into interactive experiences where the content I delivered was all that more engaging and I was consistently injecting formative assessments in a variety of ways for students to demonstrate comprehension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple ways to get started on creating your own Nearpod lessons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Nearpod, you can make slides-based lessons interactive<\/a> and gather data on student understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can make any lesson interactive by searching Nearpod\u2019s lesson library<\/a> for pre-made lessons according to standards, subjects, and grade levels. You can also create your own slide-based lesson with interactive formative assessment features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transforming one of your lectures is as easy as uploading an existing PPT or Google Slides presentation into Nearpod and infusing dynamic media and activities at strategic points, or modifying Nearpod\u2019s pre-made lessons from the lesson library to fit your classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some ideas include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Add a poll or a VR field trip at the beginning of class to spark discussion or real world connection<\/li>
  2. Insert Draw Its, Open Ended Questions, or a Collaborate Board to let students make their voices heard throughout the experience<\/li>
  3. Embed a Quiz at the end to serve as an exit ticket<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These 4-5 additions to my existing lesson transformed it from a passive to active learning experience for my students and I was more informed along the way because of it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    Explore lessons<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Interactive Video: Choose a pre-made video lesson, or create your own in minutes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    On Interactive Video<\/a>, you can create active video experiences in any lesson while checking for student understanding using built-in questions. Another aspect of my teaching practice involved sharing videos with students as a means to flip the classroom ahead of a discussion or after a lecture to extend their learning. My Government students adored Craig from Crash Course Government, and yet I always found sharing these videos to be too passive of an experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    With Nearpod, I could make these videos interactive by injecting questions into strategic parts of the video just like I could with my lectures. 11 minutes is a long time to sit and watch, but by answering <\/strong>multiple choice or open-ended questions<\/strong> throughout the video I could ensure students would be paying attention and applying what they learned throughout. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When I used this strategy to flip the classroom, the data would give me confidence that students understood a given concept like Separation of Powers ahead of committing an entire period to a debate on the subject. What\u2019s even better was that Nearpod has a library of thousands of these videos with questions already written including some incredible Nearpod Originals, so I didn\u2019t have to start from scratch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are a few teacher favorites! Use these video lessons as is, modify them, or use them as inspiration to create your own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Nearpod Originals<\/a> (K-12 ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, Life Skills)<\/li>
    2. Crash Course<\/a> (8-12 Math, Science, Social Studies) <\/li>
    3. PBS Kids<\/a> (K-5 ELA, Social Studies, SEL, Health, Technology)<\/li>
    4. BBC Worldwide<\/a>  (3-12 Social Studies, Science, Life Skills, Technology)<\/li>
    5. TED-Ed<\/a> (6-12 ELA, Science, Social Studies)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      Explore video lessons<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Choose from standards-aligned activities and gamification lessons, or create your own in minutes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      An additional way I encourage teachers to unleash the power of Nearpod is by injecting some gamification activities into the classroom experience. Nearpod\u2019s gamification and activities<\/a> include Time to Climb, Draw It, and Matching Pairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      At the end of an especially rigorous week, I would make a 10-question Time to Climb trivia quiz and let my students duke it out for who would sit atop the mountain as the master of that week\u2019s knowledge base. This fun routine became a staple of my classroom\u2019s culture and Nearpod made it so easy by offering a huge library just like with video or letting me convert existing quizzes into Time to Climb with the click of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Use these activities as is, modify them, or use them as inspiration to create your own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Draw It Activities<\/a> (K-12 ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, Life Skills)<\/li>
      2. Matching Pairs Activities<\/a> (K-12 ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, Tech & Other)<\/li>
      3. Time to Climb Activities<\/a> (K-12 ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, Life Skills)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
        Explore activities and gamification lessons<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Any of the above strategies- turning a lecture into an interactive experience, flipping the classroom with interactive video, or injecting gamification with Time to Climb- are easy ways to dip your toe in the water of Nearpod and understand the power of the platform. The best part though, is that doing any of the above will automatically enter you in our contest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Don\u2019t forget to use these tips and tricks as a guide for when you\u2019re creating, downloading, and launching lessons. Good luck, teachers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
