With Nearpod, you can add interactive activities<\/a> and engaging media. You can embed multimedia activities like questions, collaboration discussions, videos, and GIFs to keep the room\u2019s attention. Participants will be able to follow along and complete prompts on their devices. With Draw It, you can add a presentation template image as the background, as participants draw responses. Presenters can view responses and progress in real-time<\/a>, provide feedback, or share audience responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re an administrator who wants to ensure that all of your teachers are paying attention during the training and conference talk, you can see who gets out of the lesson because that user will be highlighted in red<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
