Community Review for Nearpod
My Take
As with any tool, this has the potential to be really transformational (when assessments, and student-led features are activated appropriately), or just another way to be the 'Sage on the Stage'. I find that when modeling this tool, pedagogy must be addressed!
How I Use It
I utilize Nearpod when conducting Professional Development. I find that this is a great way to model successful whole-class instruction when technology is in play!
