e lessons can be launched in student-paced m
ode to use for stations, flipped classrooms, and m
ake up sessions. Either way you
launch the lesson, you can download a data report. A
nd best of all, Nearpod lessons w

earpod Ninja. You w
ill sign up for a free account, search for lessons to download from
the library, save them
, organize them, and practice delivering them
“as is” to your students. That’s the New
bie level. Then I’ll take you to the N
inja level where you’ll learn to edit and create your ow
n lessons enhancing your standard slide content w
ith gifs, videos, 3D, VR, and Phet. You’ll take a Pow
erPoint or Google Slide deck you already use in your classroom
and N
earpod-ize it by adding polls, quizzes, fill-in-the blanks, open-ended questions and draw-it activities. You can
embed collaborative docum
ents and websites right inside the lesson and deliver it all straight to your students’
devices. I’ll even teach you how to add activities “on the fly” w
hile you’re teaching the lesson to showcase your new
ly learned N
