The "old lesson" was an assembly of approximately 300 students. All students were sitting on the cafeteria floor as a presenter showed a PowerPoint on the big screen. To me, it was tough for students to be engaged in this environment for 30 minutes. The students' takeaway was "don't play near trains". Sometimes they would remember off-task pieces of information that were shared during the Q&A session at the end of the assembly. As a teacher, I sometimes found the approach of the presenter to be off-putting at times. If teachers were to complete this Nearpod in the classroom, the messaging/content would be more consistent and on task. Completing this Nearpod in the classroom would be much more interactive for students and would give each of them the opportunity to participate.
