Nearpod is a program that allows teachers to create a lesson with video, slides, quizzes, etc. We compile materials both made by us and others to create a learning experience for students. Nearpod describes its product: “Nearpod is an interactive presentation and assessment tool that can be used to amazing effect in the classroom. The app’s concept is simple. A teacher can create presentations that can contain Quiz’s, Polls, Videos, Images, Drawing-Boards, Web Content and so on. The children can access a teacher’s presentation through a code. It is up to the teacher to then move the class through the presentation and let them interact with the media as they go.”

Today students learned about multiplying negative fractions and mixed numbers with a Nearpod lesson. They had 4 short videos and a handful of slides and quizzes. Students worked individually as I walked around and answered questions.
