Whether you are  teaching in a remote, hybrid, or face to face environment, you can engage student learning by incorporating Nearpod into your arsenal of resources.   Nearpod is a great platform that allows live and direct instruction or asynchronous and independent learning while addressing the ever changing needs and demands of your students from K-12.

Nearpod  will allow you to create opportunities for your students to explore content while collaborating with each other to develop a greater understanding of any topic. This course will familiarize you with the many Nearpod tools that you can use to turn any lesson into an innovative opportunity for active learning. Whether you want to dip your toe into the Nearpod pond or dive deeper into your designs, this course is appropriate for any user. Various examples of presentation ideas and methods will be examined. Time will be allotted to develop your own presentations.

The course consists of 11 Virtual face to face hours with the instructor + a 4 hr. independent online component.
