The NCE community has become a key element of my personal learning network, and in turn a catalyst for driving our school forward as we leverage everything Nearpod makes possible in the classroom. Having such an accessible way to collaborate with educators and see first-hand what they are able to achieve with Nearpod has not only increased the creativity in our teachers’ lessons but increased our confidence in student outcomes.

Becoming a member of the Nearpod Certified Educator Community has helped me to globally connect with other educators which has opened a whole new world of learning experiences for my students. Through these connections, I have grown professionally and personally and have a supportive community to help me to provide new, engaging and more immersive ways for my students to learn.

Yes! You most definitely qualify if you are no longer a classroom teacher. The community is designed for all types of educators, and some of our most active members work in administration or central staff of a school district. Many community members are teachers, but a sizable population of NCEs is responsible for training and managing teachers.
