The concept is simple. A teacher can create <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/interactive-slides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interactive presentations<\/a> that can contain Quizzes, Polls, Videos, Collaborate Boards, and more. You can access thousands of premade K-12 standards-aligned lessons or upload your existing lessons and make them interactive using Nearpod in the classroom. <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nearpod<\/a> makes teaching easier with the interactive tools, resources, and content teachers need, all in one place.

Teachers can also opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/6-genius-ideas-student-paced-nearpod-lesson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Student-Paced mode<\/a><em>,<\/em> where the student controls the flow of the lesson. This mode is perfect for remote learning, hybrid learning, sub days, homework assignments, or independent work.&nbsp;The app is web-based and works on any device with an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New to Nearpod?

Instead of running a PowerPoint or Google Slides, you can utilize Nearpod and make the lesson more interactive. You can even \u2018drag and drop\u2019 your existing <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/nearpod-google-slides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Slides<\/a>, PDFs, and PowerPoints into the app for it to instantly create a Nearpod presentation. Then you can select from countless interactive activities and formative assessments. The presentations will be beamed to each student&#8217;s device in the classroom. You also do not have to rely on students being able to see the board.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"86\" src=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Teacher-View-300x86.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13860\" style=\"width:486px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Teacher-View-300x86.png 300w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Teacher-View-1024x293.png 1024w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Teacher-View-768x219.png 768w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Teacher-View-1536x439.png 1536w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Teacher-View-2048x585.png 2048w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Teacher-View-500x143.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-personalized-provision-and-differentiation\"><span><strong>2.

It could be that you are beaming extra teaching provisions to particular pupils during a starter. This could be the missing link that provides more support for a child with visual impairments. It could provide that extra bit of help for a low attainer in your class. You can also duplicate and customize lessons to deliver <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/how-to-use-tech-to-differentiate-for-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">differentiated content<\/a> tailored to your students&#8217; needs.
