Earlier today <\/span>Apple announced Schoolwork<\/span><\/a>, which builds on the <\/span>Apple Classroom functionality<\/span><\/a> by allowing teachers to create assignments and see student progress. As noted in the release, Nearpod partnered with Apple to be one of the first to integrate this technology. The Nearpod team is excited about the powerful opportunities this collaboration will open for iOS classrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Schoolwork and Classroom \u201care designed to help teachers and administrators get the most out of integrating Apple technology into schools.\u201d This mantra \u2013 the meaningful integration of devices into the classroom \u2013 is at the core of Nearpod. With the proliferation of mobile devices and connectivity in the classroom, we know that the adoption of devices is just the beginning; it\u2019s what you do with that technology that matters the most.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meaningful Integration of Devices into the Classroom<\/b><\/h2>\n

What do we want to accomplish with devices in the classrooms of today and tomorrow? At Nearpod, we believe in a world where teachers and students leverage multi-platform devices to deepen understanding, collaborate with one another, and engage in rich and relevant learning experiences. To do this, the Nearpod solution offers: i) intuitive, instructional software that merges VR, simulations, multimedia and formative assessment to bring lessons into the 21st century and ii) because we know that incorporating cutting-edge technology and new instructional models is far from easy, we provide teachers with thousands of ready-to-teach digital lessons from respected publishers like <\/span>Common Sense Education<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>PhET<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Readworks<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of which technology your district has opted for (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.), Nearpod\u2019s ability to bridge software and digital content helps streamline digital investments and begin leveraging devices immediately. With Nearpod, teachers can start redefining the way their instruction looks overnight, all while preparing future-ready students and saving money on textbooks.<\/span><\/p>\n
