Using Nearpod in the Virtual Classroom (Basic Overview)

Рет қаралды 117,224

Күн бұрын

Nearpod is a great resource for virtual teachers. I've been using it during live lessons to give the students something a little different or as extra practice and homework before/after class. In this video I walk you through the basics of what nearpod has to offer. If you are interested in more detailed videos about any of the Nearpod features let me know!
Nearpod is free at the "SILVER" level which allows you to do the live paced student option but not the student paced option. Go to nearpod.com to sign up!
RIGHT NOW NEARPOD IS OFFERING FREE MEMBERSHIPS FOR TEACHERS EFFECTED BY SCHOOL CLOSINGS.

But your video has really made me want to try this wonderful tool and I will definitely be in touch if I have specific questions. You made a great video--thanks again!! You have really benefitted my students. ~Margot

I explained that they had to click to record first and then click on the text. None of them were able to record themselves. I turned on the ability to recon when I made the slide. When I did the preview, it worked. Do you know what I may have done incorrectly? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

a dumb question--I have adult students...some are very technically challenged. How do I teach them to keep the Zoom screen open but pull up a blank tab, paste in the link to the nearpod, and manage the zoom and nearpod tab side by side on one screen? Most are on laptops but one person does use an ipad. Any video to walk them through how to do that?

You will give them the link while you are in zoom. When they click the link it will open up a new screen with the Nearpod lesson.
