1) I would definitely continue to use Nearpod in my instruction. Incorporating technology is important and this is an effective tool to do that.
2) Nearpod provided feedback immediately and this was a benefit for students. They stated that they liked finding out right away if they got the answer correct. Seeing what students answered allowed me to easily identify what skills the majority of students are understanding and what they need more support with. However, I was not able to identify individual students who were struggling right away. I found this data when I looked at the Nearpod report.
3) I think the collaborative board was a great way for everyone to see each others ideas. It allows everyone to be able to participate and share their thinking. My students really enjoyed the Time to Climb activity and this could be beneficial for future quick checks or assessments since they viewed it as a game, not a quiz.
4) From this experience, I learned a new way to keep students engaged... use Nearpod! This experience provided me the time to practice and learn how to use many of the different activities included in Nearpod to create an engaging lesson.
