Getting Rid of Multi-tab Teaching and Using Formative Assessment Data to Drive Instruction with Nearpod
Feedback Survey
How do you use the devices in your classroom?  This is a question that is becoming more and more common.  The answer is simple.  I use devices to create a two way street of learning.  I control the lesson on my students device. This allows us to interact with assessment tools that I push out.  I use that data to guide my lessons.  Because of this approach, I can bring my students anywhere in the world with VR lessons.  I can gamify assessments.  I can use media, social media, and student creativity to enrich the learning environment.  Best of all, I can do all of this while never leaving my Teaching and Learning platform.  

*Attendees who attend this session will be entered to win a Year long Platinum Nearpod Licence.
