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.

I never do this but I need some objective advice. My wife is 5mo pregnant and my sister is getting married. Wedding was adjusted because of COVID but she set the date knowing I might not be able to attend as I’d have to fly there. Now I’m conflicted because if I attend, I’d have to quarantine for 2 weeks away from my wife and miss a couple DR appts. I’m her only support where we live. Would be stressful for her but I’m getting immense pressure from my parents to attend the wedding. Advice?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

How do you engage your students in more reading outside of what is required in the classroom? With each passing year I am finding an ever shrinking population of students, including honors students, who actually read beyond what is posted in social media or video games. Students willingly volunteer that they do not read and most parents see it as a non-issue. I tell my students that the best readers are usually the best writers. What are some strategies that you use beyond reading logs ?
