1) Nearpod has it's place in this year's classroom more than any other for me. I will continue to use it to offer a variety of tools to keep students engaged.
2) Formative assessment is easily attained with nearpod---if I see a common mistake and I'm playing live, I can address it right away. I can then spend more time on the weaker areas. It also allows me to see which students may benefit from some extra review/support.
3) I use a lot of technology in the classroom. According to the poll I took at the end of my nearpod, the kids prefer Blooket and Kahoot over nearpod. But nearpod was more popular than Quizlet live, edpuzzle, and conjuguemos. I think they all have their place in my classroom. When it comes to vocabulary. I let the students pick what they'd like to play. As long as they are engaged, why not?
4) According to my poll, students' favorite type of activity was Time to Climb which essentially is Kahoot or Quizizz. Maybe I missed out on some of the better activities?? I would have liked to have had a badge that had us look at other nearpods that were exemplars. The ready made ones for World Languages aren't anything I would use in class. But I know a French colleague has come up with some great nearpods that if I had the time, I would steal, edit, and use. :)
