Our district pays for a district license for us all, and it has been a great resource. I love that it kind of combines a bunch of things. It has polls and questions, the ability to draw, embed videos and other websites, and even quiz kids with the Time to Climb activities.
It's also nice for both synchronous and asynchronous work. I love that I can lead the presentation when we're doing stuff together, but that I can also have the students do it on their own if I want them too. Plus, they added in a feature that keeps them from skipping the activities, which is ALSO great.

And what is your favorite aspect of Nearpod?

Me!

I use it OFTEN. It has helped with student engagement. It forces students to respond especially when they know it will have an impact on their grade.

You know what F all those people who say “Why are we wearing masks at work? This sucks!” I am happy we have to, that way I don’t have to smell your disgusting breath in morning or after your lunch. If you have good oral hygiene and don’t want to wear a mask I am cool with you guys/gals. If not, put on a mask to save a life. If your COVID won’t kill us, your bad breath definitely will.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior.

There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

Several years ago, I stopped teaching Shakespeare plays line for line. Instead, I have the kids do a variety of activities to learn the plot, the characters, the history, the language, the literary devices. We watch the plays. We read and analyze the important quotes, soliloquies, monologues, and dialogues. How many teachers out there are teaching Shakespeare differently than the old standard: read an act, take a quiz? And how is that working? Are students more engaged? Best strategies?
