On the Spectrum

Great tool for my son with Autism
Helped him learn new words
Showed visual-picture
Verbal examples- how to say word in a sentence
He does not sound out words
he memorizes words as a whole
Would have to monitor him he would skip the sentence and fly through words

This was great help
In teaching him the "word"
it was fun and effective
And not frustrating to him

Awesome

My Dad had a stroke and is learning how to speak again. This app has been very helpful. It helps when I say the sentences with him. The pictures that go along with the sentences look great. I hope they make more apps like this.

Nearpod makes every instructional moment interactive by empowering teachers to create learning experiences with formative assessment and dynamic media. We are committed to helping teachers create inclusive learning environments, and make continual improvements to ensure our platform is accessible.

To monitor our progress, Nearpod uses the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT), a form created by partnership by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to provide evidence of a product's compliance key regulations of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. The VPAT is the starting point for Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACR) which describe the accessibility of Nearpod features. Nearpod's most recent VPAT targets WCAG 2.0 AA and is available upon request.

We focus on accessibility with our lesson delivery experience and authoring tools. Because teachers create and customize their own experiences in Nearpod, we cannot guarantee that every lesson will be accessible. Nearpod does offer many features that support accessibility, below is a guide designed to help teachers maximize the accessibility of their lessons.

In this article, find how Nearpod is accessible in these ways:

Create accessible lessons

I. Offer text accessibility through Immersive Reader

Nearpod uses Immersive Reader to provide text-to-speech, translation, contrast, and additional text accessibility features within a lesson. Immersive Reader is compatible with many of Nearpod's content & activity features, however, Immersive Reader does not read text on images. This feature is available on both the web and iOS app versions of Nearpod.

Here are some tips for ensuring that students can leverage Immersive Reader during your lesson:

1. Create your lesson with the Nearpod slide editor or through our Google Slides add-on. This will ensure that all text on content slides can be read by Immersive Reader

2. Ensure that question types and content in your lesson are supported by Immersive Reader. Here's how Immersive Reader works with Nearpod's features:

Immersive Reader is supported on content slides created within the Nearpod slide editor or with our Google Slides add-on

Reads the question directions and answer choices:

Nearpod's Immersive Reader integration does not support reference media, embedded websites, or other Nearpod content features not mentioned here.

3. Text accessibility: other screen readers
If your students are using a screen reader other than Immersive Reader, it will function within Nearpod in the same way that it would on any other website.

II. Include videos that offer closed captions

Close captions for videos are supported in the following instances:

1. For videos uploaded through YouTube that contain created-added captions (within Youtube), those captions will be available when the lesson is taught through Nearpod

2. Nearpod Original and Flocabulary videos contain lyrics within the video

3. Nearpod Original and Flocabulary videos offer PDF lyrics

III. Multiple options for student responses

Nearpod offers 11 ways for students to demonstrate what they know. Some question types offer multiple ways for students to respond to the same question. While creating lessons, consider these features as ways to offer multiple options for student responses.

1. Open-Ended Questions: When enabled, students can respond to these questions with text, recorded audio, or both

2. Draw it: Students can respond with drawings, text, and/or images (uploaded and via Google Safe Search)

3. Collaborate Board: Students can respond with text and/or images (uploaded and via Google Safe Search)

IV. Multiple representations of information

Nearpod offers 12 media types, so teachers have various ways to present information. While creating a lesson, consider student needs when determining how information is presented.

V. Offer in-lesson supports

Nearpod offers multiple ways to embed in-lesson supports to meet accommodations for students.

1. Provide reference media to support questions by adding audio, text, video, and reference websites

2. Add recorded audio to content slides

Deliver accessible lessons

Nearpod offers multiple ways for teachers to increase accessibility while delivering lessons.

I. Make it simple for students to join lessons

There are multiple ways for students to join the lesson. When delivering your lesson, consider which option or options will be most accessible for your students.

1. By going to nearpod.com/student and entering a 5 character code

2. Directly via a link

3. By accessing a lesson embedded in an LMS

II. Easily allow students to preview lessons in advance, or review after

Offer a Student Paced code before or after a Live Lesson so that students can preview and review content at their own pace.

III. Allow students to control their experience while watching a video

When delivering a video through Nearpod, select the "Student plays" option in Live Lesson mode so that students can control the speed and volume. This mode is the default for Student Paced videos.

1. Students can watch videos in Nearpod at three playback speeds to slow down the video, and can pause and rewind the video as needed

2. Students can control the volume of the video on their device

IV. Easily personalizing lessons and provide accommodations for all learners

With Nearpod, you can duplicate a presentation to create alternative versions. Here are some ways that lessons could be customized:

1. Add in reference media supports for formative assessments

2. Alter question types for formative assessments

3. Alter content types, for example, replace a PDF text with a video

Hear from every student

Nearpod ensures that teachers hear from every student for every question to support

I. Get live insights into every student's learning with the live Teacher View

Nearpod's teacher view provides student responses to every question in real-time, so teachers can quickly understand where every student is in their learning.

With Co-Teaching, teachers can provide access to the live teacher view to their co-teacher, so both teachers can monitor responses.

Library News and Notes

June 2, 2021

Dear Readers,

Great news! I was able to rebuild a simple version of the in-browser book reader which has enabled me to add back all of the ICDL books. The interface is not what it used to be, and we no longer have translations of books (only the original language the book was published in) - but we have all ~4,000 books back. The site is fast and reliable and should be able to stay around for some time to come. Happy reading!

May 5, 2021

Dear Readers,

Good news! Thanks to the UMD Computer Science Department, which has agreed to host a static version of ICDL, we have been able to resuscitate the library a bit, and have brought back 1/4 of the books in PDF form (that we have "download" rights for). We had to create a vastly simpler site without many, many of the features - no search, no translations, etc. But about 1,000 of the books are back, and we will work on bringing back more books and at least some aspects of the original site. Please note that we do not have the right to allow you to redistribute these books further, and they are provided to you only for personal use.

Thank you for so many of your heart-warming and gracious emails which encouraged us to find a way to keep the ICDL alive.

April 19, 2021

Dear Readers,

It has been over 20 years since we launched the International Children's Digital Library. In that time, we have served about 15 million people reading over 1,000,000 hours of children's books. We launched at a time when the concept of reading books online was a bit odd, and almost unheard of for children's books. After all these years, as far we know, we are still the largest collection of freely available complete children's books from around the world. And we did that without ever exposing children to commercial activities or risking their privacy.

But for many years, we have served this mission without any funds. And now all of the founders have moved on to other things in their lives. The servers are very old and dusty and there is no one to maintain them. Our licenses for the books are for use only by the ICDL so while we have considered a number of alternatives, none of them really made sense.

And so now it is time to say goodbye and read with the innumerable other resources in the world. The ICDL has been our labor of love, and we will always remember these books, the volunteers, libraries, publishers, and readers around the world with great fondness.

Keep reading!
