Nearpod for learning

To give me a chance to get to know the students, I used Nearpod.  This tool allowed me to keep the students focused, with the content right at their fingertips. 

3rd grade students collaborated on a creation with "1+1=1" and 2nd graders pondered choices with "Would You Rather..." The 3rd grade students discussed collaboration and what it means and brainstormed what it looked, sounded and felt like and discussed strategies for compromise. While 2nd graders talked about choices and why we make our choices.  

It was fun and very informative. I learned about my students and they also had an opportunity to learn more about themselves and the classmates.

Note: I used the free version.
