Nearpod is a way for you as a teacher to synchronize your lessons across all student devices in your classroom, get real time feedback and post session reports on student comprehension. You create an account. There are several options including signing in with your Google account. This is great if you are a google apps for education school like I am. The learners are able to sign in using their google accounts as well! You have a library that is for your lessons that you create or you can search for lessons that have already been created. There are free and paid already created lessons though I did not find the offerings to be extensive but there are some quality lessons available. I love that if you create your own you can import Google Slides, Power Point and PDF into your interactive Nearpod lesson. You can share the lesson via email, a link or embed it.
Example 1: The Three Types of Rocks! is a lesson that is available on Nearpod. A science standard that I cover involves learning about the three different kinds of rock. This link is an entire interactive lesson built to help teach the three types of rock https://share.nearpod.com/vsph/Wkn3yqL6Oz
Example 2: What is Hydroponics? is a lesson that would have been perfect for our third grade teaches who with the help of their learners built some hydroponic ecosystems and grew kale hydroponically. This lesson would be perfect for helping the learners understand the task before researching on their own to find out more about how to grow things hydroponically. https://share.nearpod.com/vsph/GUDblRurPz
