I decided to discover Nearpod to use within my lessons. Especially since my class is virtual. The technology is supposed to enhance lessons, and to be more engaging to students. Students can engage with myself and with others while I am teaching a lesson to the class. Students can draw, type, and react to different videos, pictures, and to discussion. It can also begin a discussion point within class. I can also infer what my students understand or don't understand in a live lesson. To be used, it is probably better to be used if you use the paid version due to the space that the Nearpod can hold. You can use this for a whole class, and I was actually able to be a participant with my colleagues. That number was over forty. Students would have to be shared a link in the chat on Zoom, and if it was in person then it could be posted on any platform as a material (Google Classroom for an example.)
