Link to Example: Going Places Safely Lesson
Description: Nearpod has interactive mobile presentations that teachers can create or customize according to their curriculum. Nearpod allows the presentation to be viewed by the teacher computer and all mobile devices that are logged into that lesson. The teacher controls the flow of the presentation, and can instruct students to interact with the presentation by answering multiple choice or sentence questions, draw reactions, or discuss with others. The teacher can then use this informal assessment to guide the rest of the lesson. Students can highlight or write on any page that the teacher allows, and if the teacher clicks to go to the next page or clicks on a link on her computer in the presentation, it will open it up on every student computer.
Nearpod will allow you to import google slides or other presentations that you have already created, and share your presentations with others. At the end of a presentation, you can view a session report that will give you an excellent snapshot of students comprehension.
This tool can be used in countless ways. For example, social studies and science objectives can be accomplished by taking the students on one of their virtual field trips to the ocean, Mars, or even The Great Wall of China. Teachers can also do a compare and contrast lesson by having students type their opinion in, and she can share the most relevant and helpful answers with student screens. I use presentations in my classroom to introduce content, review, and engage the students, so I would use this frequently. I think it is ideal for upper elementary-high school students. There are many applications for younger classrooms, but you would need a 1:1 environment with all of the students technologically capable.
