Nearpod is an educational tool that teachers can use to actively
engage and assess student at the same time. However, there are times where
students tend to be distracted regardless of
grade level when student are on their iPads or laptops, but the
teachers have the TOTAL control on what the students should be doing. For example, if a teacher is doing a history lesson
and the instructional strategy is a PowerPoint or any other
presentation tool, teachers can display a certain
slide that all students would View. Teachers can use Nearpod throughout instruction. Using Nearpod allows
teachers to stay on track with the lesson. Teachers can implement Nearpod during
math instruction, for example, if a teacher was doing a lesson on
fractions the teacher could insert a quick video from
YouTube introducing fractions. Afterwards, the teacher
would assess them on what they know or what
they already know. One of Nearpod's feature is that
it allows teachers to insert variety of assessments such as exit tickets,
polls, and multiple-choice quizzes. Also, students are allowed to draw
quick pictures on a "white slate" and show their work then they are
able to send their work to the teacher. In addition, teachers can implement Nearpod during a small group instruction for
reading. Students can track of their reading because the certain
pages are going to be displayed when the teacher do so as
well.
Here is a website on how teachers can use Nearpod in math
instruction.

Nearpod is a great tool to implement in any grade school because it allows students to collaborate, communicate, and think critically, and create. Students are able to collaborate when they are able to give short response through Nearpod. However, students are going to communicate by think-pair-share first before they can share their opinions through a discussion board. Students are able think critically because students are able to form their own answer then deliver through a quick activity that the teacher could assign. Students can be creative when working in a group project and the students can use Nearpod as presentation tool. Once the groups are done with their presentations, the teacher could post all the groups’ presentation on a google doc. Therefore, students can go online at home and access them.
