What is Camp Engage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Camp Engage<\/a> is a free virtual professional development opportunity for educators to learn how to bring Nearpod and Flocabulary into the classroom. Even though the deadline to earn PD credit has passed, Nearpod and Flocabulary educators, beginner and advanced, can still view the 30+ available, on-demand sessions. You will walk away with new ideas to enhance your instruction with every session you view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you ready to explore the possibilities of the virtual PD event? We have highlighted campers\u2019 5 key takeaways from Camp Engage that helped them say Yes! And\u2026 in and out of the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 key takeaways from Camp Engage: Yes! And\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. How to embrace a \u201cYes! And\u2026\u201d mentality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes! And\u2026 is a concept from the improvisational theater that discourages actors from saying the word \u2018no,\u2019 and instead prompts them to accept the direction a scene is going. At Camp Engage, we spent three days redefining what it means to have a Yes! And\u2026 mentality as an educator. Take a second to consider the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. \u2713 I am open to new ideas from my peers<\/li>
  2. \u2713 I try to think outside of the box<\/li>
  3. \u2713 I believe collaboration increases our impact on students<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Did you check off all the boxes? If so, you are already on your way to having a Yes! And\u2026 mentality!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “I learnt so much more about Nearpod as a useful educational tool to use both in my classroom and with other staff.”<\/p>– Ingrid Corcoran<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    2. When we work together, we win together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Education is a team effort. When we help each other find new ways to say, \u201cYes! And \u2026\u201d we can put our best foot forward for our students. At Camp Engage, we saw that by working together, we win together. Here are some of the ways educators collaborated and connected during the event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
