Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Carol & Charles Pedretti - $2,000.00
Goal
Increase student engagement and course manageability for teachers and students.
What will be done with my students
Nearpod is an interactive student-engagement platform. Students are able to complete self-paced lessons and activities such as virtual field trips, laboratory activities and games.
A school-wide subscription integrates automatically with the Canvas platform and also includes a subscription to Flocabulary, a fun and engaging library of hiphop videos. The Flocabulary videos are based on benchmark standards and help enforce vocabulary by captivating student attention and providing additional creative and collaboration activities.
Nearpod also includes a vast assortment of pre-made lessons that can be modified by teachers and tailored to their students. Videos, class polls, formative and summative assessments, and many other options are provided and can be created by teachers to help mix up computer learning and help students master standards while having fun.
Benefits to my students
The current health crisis leaves teachers with few engaging classwork and formative assessment options. If students work from home, all work must be completed on a computer. Lessons can be hard to follow, tedious and frustrating for students. Classroom lessons will also be difficult since students cannot share supplies or lab materials.
Thankfully, CCPS is beginning a 1:1 student to device initiative this year. All students will have access to a laptop. Nearpod can help provide exciting and interesting activities to students. With Nearpod, teachers will have many more learning options and lessons will be stream-lined and easy to follow. No matter if we go virtual, or teach in a classroom, having a Nearpod subscription will be a great advantage to all of our students and teachers and will help give us a hand up in such a difficult time in education.
