Create an Interactive Presentation with Nearpod

Nearpod looks like a great presentation tool. You can upload your powerpoints and add in interactive features such as open ended questions, quizzes, polls, and even have students annotate an image.  When you are ready to present, the site gives you a room number that students use to login, which means there is no need for students to create accounts!  As the teacher you can see the activity of all students and manage the flow of the presentation.  Nearpod can be accessed by students and teachers on any web browser (PC/Mac) and there is a free mobile app.  Essentially Nearpod allows you to take a powerpoint you already have and make it more interactive for students. You can add in open ended questions, polls, and quizzes to gauge student understanding of the presentation. Checkout the video below for a demo of Nearpod.  Give it a try today and create a free account!
