How to Create a Nearpod Presentation:
Adding Content:
You can create a unique Nearpod Presentation by adding any of the following content:
Slide: As mentioned above, each "slide" is really either a PDF or image file. Thus, you need to build slides elsewhere if you want something more complex. Once you become familiar with exporting slides as image files however, this becomes a simple process.
Slide Show: A series of images as a slideshow as opposed to one per slide in the presentation.
Poll: Survey questions where there is no option for correct/incorrect answers.
Q&A (Free Response): Quick way to get real time checking for understanding.
Quiz: Instead of a single question, have students answer a series of questions at their own pace.
Video: Insert an MP4 (must be uploaded) to play back on devices or Youtube video.
Draw it: Have students draw over a blank canvas or over an image. Choose which ones to share with the group.
Browse the internet (upgraded feature): Share web pages with users.
Audio: add an audio clip of you or a song.
PDF Viewer: share a PDF file with your students.
Live Twitter Stream: share a thread you want your students to follow.
Matching pairs: have your students play the matching game, then answer a question.
Fill in the Blank: write out sentences and the student have to fill in the blanks.
TIP: Look for the settings icon to add even more customization to your interactive features. Example: You can add a reference image for question or have short answer responses instead of multiple choice questions.
TIP: The Draw It feature has great potential across all curricula. Examples include: annotating over a passage, drawing/labeling a map, solving a math problem, balancing chemical equations, and more.
