Resource #3 - Nearpod

okeefej1 — 2014-08-10 19:48:02 UTC

PowerPoint presentations are going the way of overhead projectors and wet erase markers. You can upload your (almost) defunct PowerPoints into a program called Nearpod. You can also create multiple choice and short answer assessments to go along with the program. Give your students a 5 letter code, and they will be able to view the presentation and answer the assessment questions on their laptops. You will be able to see which students answered correctly as well as how the class did overall (multiple choice only). To see how this works, click on the link below and input the PIN.
