Teaching, by nature, is a social profession. When I was teaching 8th grade in Atlanta, anytime I discovered an effective teaching or classroom management strategy, a valuable tech tool, an insight on a challenging student, or an awesome new lesson, the first thing I wanted to do was share it with my colleagues. It was a win-win: I benefitted by getting feedback and building a positive reputation as a new teacher, and they benefitted by learning about a new tool or lesson for their classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

With <\/span>School Library, <\/b>Nearpod is making it easier than ever for teachers to share resources with each other and leverage great digital lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, Nearpod\u2019s School Library is a central hub for teachers to share and organize Nearpod lessons across their entire school or district. School Library allows educators to collaborate more effectively, share best practices, and helps school leaders amplify the impact of their teachers\u2019 lessons!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are our <\/span>top tips<\/b> for admins, department heads, and teachers to start leveraging this new update right away:<\/span><\/p>\n
