How I Use It

I taught a lesson on parts of a computer at the beginning of the year. I created the lesson using Nearpod at home on my desktop computer. My presentation was for k-2 so I recorded a video of myself telling about the parts of the computer. When the students view the video, they had to have their own set of earphones so they could hear the video. For classes without earphones, it quickly became chaotic and students were distracted. Then I created a diagram where the students had to identify the parts of a computer and submit it to me. I learned with young students to have students just draw lines from a word to the diagram using the draw screen in Nearpod. After the students submitted their finished diagrams, I was able to share out specific examples without names included to further the discussion of parts of the computer. I was able to see instantly who understood the parts and who didn't.
