*Something is wrong with nearpod these days. Me and many of my friends are getting blank black pages and we are unable to attend the class.Can someone please help???*
I learned more in your video than in class I took about Nearpod. I like how you always show both the teacher and student view.
Wow, thank you, Vicki! And thank you for your continued support!!
Great video!!
I’m a student in 8th grade and We use nearpod very often
I appreciate my teachers for trying to keep class more fun even if it doesn’t work at least they tried
I'm glad to hear that!
Amazing resource for students of all ages! The pace of the tutorial was perfect for me and very easy to follow-just like all your other tutorials I have watched.
Hi Catherine, thank you so much!
Thank you! I'm always on the lookout for new apps to use to engage my students and I must check this one out.
Definitely, Nearpod is awesome!
I have already design 2 lessons, which I will start delivering in two more weeks. Your explanation of how to assign the activities clarify some of my questions. I believe I will be able teach as a pro with this platform.Thanks a lot!!!

I'm so glad to hear that, Sophie! Best of luck to you!
This was so helpful, better than any others. Thank you!
So glad to hear that, Emily!

You're welcome, Ana! Happy to hear it was helpful!
I think you just changed my world! Thank you for showing this from both teacher and student view.
Glad it was helpful!
A teacher was just talking about this today. This is awesome and your explanation is succinct and easy to follow. You have gained a new follower
So glad to hear that you found it helpful!
Awesome videos! LOVE them and share them frequently! Soooooooo helpful!
Thanks so much for your support, Leslie!

Thanks a Buch for your videos!!! They're really helpful!!! Love them!
You’re very welcome!
There are so many learning technologies around these days, but this looks revolutionary. I think I need Nearpod in my life!
It's definitely one of my favorites! Very powerful tool.
i loved the way you explain. thank you.. also I like that you give out the student view and the teacher view. awesome technique
Thank you, Lupita! So glad you've found it helpful!
Thank you for sharing. While I am a novice with this, I appreciate the way you show and explain everything! Thanks again!
You're very welcome!
I am always so impressed by your videos. You do such a professional job. Thank you so much for providing these❤️
Thank you so much!
My school had the option of going LIVE with students. I had used NEARPOD in the past but never through distance learning. I found that is was one of the best tools to use becase
1) You can require more student participation.
2) There is lots of variety to the lessons.
3) Videos: I like playing short videos and they are playing the video THROUGH THEIR DEVICE. Big difference than trying to screen cast a video.
4) Google Slide Add on: I always found the NEARPOD site a little clunky for editing lessons. Now you can add the great features while editing from Google Slides. Much easier IMO.
5) It makes creativity more accessible. You want to use the 3D maps and Quiz tools. I like the Polls myself. Never tried the post-it note page but I will now.
Hi David, thanks for your comment! I agree that the add-on is AWESOME!
Bro! Thank you! 👏🏽👏🏽 You made it so easy to understand and follow along! 🤙🏽
You're welcome!
Thank you! This was very helpful and very informative!
Thanks, Cindy!
Your videos are the best I've seen! Thank you!
Wow, thank you Dana! Thank you so much for the support!
Thank you for your video. I have used this program for the digital citizenship mys district requires, but I can see how this would be a great resource for instruction, especially for teachers that don't want to be on camera.
So glad you found it helpful!
Your explanation was impeccable. Thank you for sharing. Nearpod seems to be a very comprehensive tool to use.
Thanks so much! Yeah, Nearpod is definitely worth checking out!
@@NewEdTechClassroom The way you present topics is not overwhelming. I appreciate that. Thank you! Very inspiring
I really appreciate your feedback! Best of luck!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome, Lena!
You are so clear in your delivery of information! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Terrific! Concise. SO helpful.
So glad it was helpful, Anne!
Great overview. I found your tutorial very helpful, and I've already tried a few lessons this week. Looking forward to creating my own first video this week.
Love hearing that, Juan! Best of luck to you!
Thank you for your videos, Sam. I find them well-planned and easy to follow.
I'm so glad to hear that, Mary!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I learnt a lot.

You're welcome!
Wow, so very helpful. I learned more from your video than the Nearpod webinar.
Thank you so much, Laura!!
You have a very effective tutorial style. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
I'm so glad they're helpful, Ginger! Thank you for your support!
Thank you for reasonable temporal and sequential pacing.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for these videos! I use them all the time and they're very helpful! They're appropriately paced, outline plusses and minuses, as well as cool features. I also like that you show things from the student perspective as often as possible. Question: Can I use Nearpod and Pear Deck in the same set of Google Slides?
Thanks for your feedback, Thomas! No, you won't be able to run Nearpod and Pear Deck at the same time because both require that you login through their interface in order to use them.
@@NewEdTechClassroom I'm a 7th grade math teacher in an urban district. I've started a small summer math camp for kids in my town to provide some math support over the summer. It also gives me a test bed for EdTech; I'm just trying to be ready for the fall and whatever that brings. Again, thank you so much for these videos! I've watched several and they're super helpful!
I want to start recording videos for youtube myself, and was wondering what softwares you used to create your videos. It is wonderful you shared under the video. Thank you!
It's all in this other video: th-cam.com/video/qgtBjdu_usc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for posting this video. It was helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
You’re my favorite!
Ha, thank you Jacquelyn! Thanks so much for your support!
This is great. Thank you.
Thank you, Johnson!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome, Pamela! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
This is a great resource- thanks! I have a question- at 2:00 or so you talk about clicking a button to filter out lessons you have to pay for- I just spent the last 5-10 minutes or so scouring the site to find that "free" filter- I thought maybe they moved it or something? But it's not on the site anymore where you show it- not when I pull it up anyway. Do you know what happened to that? Thanks again- a friend of mine directed me to nearpod and your video is extremely helpful. Thank you so much for making this video!
Hi, yeah, that's because they changed around the way their payment plan works. Now it's based on storage capacity and number of students: nearpod.com/pricing
Hey. that was really interesting. I have just learned something so amazing! Thanks
Glad to hear!
Extremely helpful. You make it look easy
I appreciate that, Jenifer. Thank you for the kind words!
Brilliant thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you! Great video!
Thank you, Sonya!
Very clear. Excellent resource.
Glad to hear that!
Thanks a lot! Great video!
You're very welcome, Cynthia!
Excellent. Thank you!
You're very welcome, Jessica!
Very helpful , very resourceful!!
Glad to hear that, Jacqueline!
You're awesome man!!!
Thank you, Niloufer! Appreciate the support!
Hi, I can see 'English Learners' tab on your screen, but can't find it on mine. Does this feature appear only on paid version? Thank you!
Hi, no, I think that's because they made some updates and the appearance of the interface changed.
Very clear explanation. Thanks 🙏🏻
You're welcome!
Thank you!
You're welcome, Anita!
Wow! Thank you
You're very welcome, Tasha!
Excelent explanation! ;)
Thanks! 😃
Another very helpful, concise video. I really like how you show what this tool looks like for student and teacher use. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your support, Ileen!
I am so bad with technology lol. This is soo cool though!! I have to learn it
Baby steps are key, Sandra! Definitely best to start slow and add to your suite of apps as you get more comfortable! :)
Constructive mindset...I just need more practice with technology in order to get better💡!
Thanks so much! That really answered my basic questions. Can you tell me how you made the cool background image during your video?
Hi Allison, I actually recently put out a video about how I do it! th-cam.com/video/qgtBjdu_usc/w-d-xo.html
The software I use is called Screenflow if you're interested in checking it out here: telestream.8bx6ag.net/c/2242743/352742/4900
@@NewEdTechClassroom Thank you! I will look into this as I get used to virtual teaching.
You covered it way too well....nice way to explain.it is easy to understand and follow.Pls share more tutorials to support online learning. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely subscribe and keep an eye out for new tutorials every week on my channel!
Thanks for the sharing the info regarding Nearpod. It was wonderful. I have a doubt.I could not complete a live session in one period. How can I continue the next day , without getting the responses of the previous day, lost? pls clarify
Hi Girija, Nearpod should still be saving student responses even if they don't finish.
Thanks for your great efforts
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Hi! Do you know how I can change the interface language in nearpod? I am trying to use it but it's all in spanish and I can´t find where to switch it to english...
Hi Mayito, I don't unfortunately. It's possible that it's reading the default language of your browser, but if that's not the case, I'd reach out directly to them.
Thank you very much.
You are welcome!
Thank you 🙏
You're very welcome Elsie!
Thank you so much
You're welcome, Adiba!
Thank you so much for all of your lessons! I'm learning so much! I have a question, if you were going to only use one of the two, would it be nearpod or peardeck? I am trying to keep for overwhelming my students with a bunch of new technology. I teach 9th grade Health. Thanks in advance for you input!
Hi Anna, I get this question a lot, and hate answering b/c I like them both :)
But if you really had to force me to choose, I'd go with Nearpod simply because it has more interactivity features, and I like their pre-built lessons.
@@NewEdTechClassroom Thank you SO much for taking the time to answer!! I just sent the link to your channel to on Vice Principal. Your videos are VERY helpful! Thank you again!
Great tutorial.
Thank you, Anita!!
Great explanation of NearPod! I have a question.. how can I show my presentation while still showing myself or having my students remain visible on the screen as I am demonstrating my presentation?
Split your screen!
How can i use some of the technologies that
You have shared for grade 2 learners?
Hi Shonali,
That's a great question, though not one easily answerable in a comment response! I think a lot of the tools I show can be used with younger students, it's just a matter of scaling things down and choosing grade-appropriate content. Younger students will also likely need more training in how to use some of the platforms, though my guess is that they would pick most programs up quite quickly!
We have to use Google Meets for live instruction. How can I use this in the Google Meet platform?
Hi Megan, You can definitely use Google Meet and Nearpod together! Set it up to be "teacher-led," invite students, then screen share the teacher slide and have students follow along and complete the interactivity activities on their own computers. Hope that helps!
Can you create classes in Nearpod so that when I go check who has done the work I can check by different periods?
The reports are based on sessions, so if you have multiple periods working on the same lesson in Nearpod, just generate separate links to share to your individual classes.
Thanks for such a step by step introduction to Nearpod. Do teachers generally use this as the "lesson" they are teaching and then students work on it independently? Wasn't sure if I clicked "live" if students follow me on screen but also open up on their end and follow that way. I appreciate your reply and help! Thank you!
It depends: you can launch and teach lessons live or set them up to be student-paced. In both cases, students would want to have their own tab open so they could interact with the slides. I typically have students split their screens so they can see the screen I'm sharing as well as the screen they need to edit. Best of luck!
I have been following your video tutorials for 2 months now. I am preparing for fall of 20/21 school year. I am going to have the opportunity to learn more during summer remote learning. Which would you recommend for elementary students. Hyperdoc, Hyperdoc including nearpod lessons or Pear Deck? I'm looking for the simplest when it comes to navigating through website including the extension.
Hi Shantara, Thanks for your support!
Of those three options, by far the simplest is Nearpod because it doesn't require students to go to multiple websites, and has loads of pre-made lessons you can grab and use with your students. Hope that helps!
Nicely put together.
Thank you!
Your video was very detailed and informative. However, I need to know how to use Nearpod with zoom. If you could do a video about it, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Suzette, I show that in this video: th-cam.com/video/_wsF9u1B0bU/w-d-xo.html&t=
I’m considering using Nearpod with my 1st graders & their iPads. If I send them that link in the chat (on zoom) & they click the link, would they still have to put in the code? It’s very difficult to have them try to put in a code during remote learning, but I’d love to use the feature of me being able to see all of their screens on a live session.
No, they won't have the enter the code if you give them the direct link!
Thanks for sharing
You're very welcome!
Great job sir.
Thank you!
Thank you, this was great! Do you know if this would be user friendly for second graders to access in google classroom?
Hi Catherine! Absolutely! I just worked with a Kindergarten teacher who is using it. Take a look at the integration with Immersive Reader for lower grades, as well as all the pre-built lessons (you can filter by grade level). The think I like about Nearpod for lower grades is that everything is all in one place and students don't have to deal with link/document management.
Great video! Thanks! Is it possible to create a lesson with Nearpod without any link to Newsela? Does it have to be linked to Newsela or it just depends on whether you included Newsela content in the Nearpod lesson?
Hi Acacia, Thanks for your question! Sure, you can make Nearpod lessons without the Newsela integration. It just go happens that the lesson I showed incorporated Newsela. You might want to check out this tutorial as well, because I cover some of the features of the Nearpod Add-On, which allow you to basically just add Nearpod elements to Google Slides you've already created (and it's free!). th-cam.com/video/jvpU2qPAt-k/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Great overview. Is there a way to export student graded responses into a spreadsheet or other format outside of the presentation itself?
The short answer is yes, but the long answer is that the exact functionality depends on your Learning Management System. If you Google your LMS and Nearpod (e.g. "Schoology and Nearpod," or "Canvas and Nearpod") you'll see what integrations are available.
@@NewEdTechClassroom Thank you!
really good video, thank you.
Thanks so much, Russell!
Sam I absolutely love your tutorials. What would you say is the big difference between nearpod and peardeck?
Hi Lyn, Nearpod offers more functionality, but Pear Deck allows you to add interactivity to slides you've created yourself. In Nearpod, the Slides would show up after slides you've created and are more like a template, if that makes sense. I'd say Nearpod is the more powerful tool of the two by a long-shot.
Thanks for the great tutorial!!! Does Nearpod export grades to Google Classroom like Edpuzzle?
Not that I'm aware of, unfortunately, but they are always upgrading features, so it's worth keeping an eye out!
Thanks
You're welcome!
Sam, Great video on Nearpod. I was curious how you recorded your video image that way you did (no border, just your image right into your teaching about the content).
Hi Mark,
A lot of people ask me about this, so I actually recently put out a video about how I do it! th-cam.com/video/qgtBjdu_usc/w-d-xo.html
The software I use is called Screenflow if you're interested in checking it out here (full disclosure, this is an affiliate link, so The New EdTech Classroom would receive a portion of the sale if you were to decide to move forward with a subscription!): telestream.8bx6ag.net/c/2242743/352742/4900
Thank you for all of your incredibly helpful videos. I'm wondering how you grade an interactive nearpod? Participation? Homework? Do you have a rubric?
Hi Danielle, I personally just give participation grades for the activities in Nearpod. Then I use a rubric when students create a project after learning the content.
Thank you!
Thanks for this informative video
You're welcome, Anna!
I love nearpod
Me too!
