It works on any operational system or browser. The teacher can create PowerPoints, upload previously made one from the computer, or find and edit other’s PowerPoints already on Nearpod. (nearpod.com/explorelessons) The students follow along on their personal iPads and interact. The teacher can use presentations, modeling/displaying children’s work, virtual reality/fieldtrips, homework, and assessments all on Nearpod.
The teacher or students can create their own virtual reality on here, or they can use pre-made videos. Polls, interactive quizzes, open-ended questions, true/false, and drawing are all assessments that can be added to presentations to keep the students engaged. They receive immediate feedback and the teacher knows if a child has been dormant for too long. This is a great way to make homework fun and engaging for students, or letting students be self-sufficient with their work in the classroom. The basic silver is free, but there are higher levels worth buying, such as a school and district that is bought by the school for multiple teachers.
