The students were much more engaged with this style of the lesson versus the "old" lesson, it had technology! The previous lesson had all the students gathered on the carpet facing the rocking chair and a paper easel. The lesson usually took place on a hot day and the kids were exhausted from the heat and other parts of their day. I remember only a few students actually catching on to the concept, one of the reasons I wanted to update it.
I think their understanding increased immensely! The Nearpod allowed for so many different ways to learn such as the Time to Climb and quiz like questions. They also really liked the flocabulary video that was embedded. Some of the students were trying to sing along and dance in their chairs, it was fun to see them engaged with music on a point of view lesson!
For the future, I think it's so awesome that the Nearpod is created and in my online library. When going back to this lesson next year, I don't have to find the file folder in my filing cabinet and make copies. All I have to do is pull up Nearpod and share the code! Easy as that!
