Nearpod

Teachers can use Nearpod to support student learning in a variety of ways. Give students opportunities for interaction and immediate feedback by having them draw on a map or diagram, respond to a poll question, post a note or image to a collaboration board, or take a multiple-choice quiz. Taking students on a virtual field trip to a national park or a different country. Help students review key learning concepts by watching videos, reviewing notes, or taking their own notes. Let kids design their own slideshows and teach each other. Incorporate social and emotional learning (SEL) and digital citizenship skills with pre-created lessons on empathy, cyberbullying, or Internet safety. (Common Sense Media)

How To Guide

This tool works on the iOS app! Students will have the option to select the icon with a book and speaker on any slide that is created in Google Slides or any Nearpod activity. The immersive reader tool does not work on images (so if a teacher takes a screenshot of a paragraph, it will not recognize it as text) - similarly, it does not work on content slides from the Nearpod library as those are saved as images.
