Nearpod FAQs, Answered Questions
Nearpod email support:
They welcome suggestions too!
Phet Lab Simulation Worksheets
"There are currently no plans to establish a connection with worksheets"
Math Notation and Symbols
"We are working on improving our math functions and look forward to being more user friendly for arithmetic teachers."
Video Assessment Integration - Use of your own videos?
"You can use your own video but it must be less than 100MB."
You do not have to upload to YouTube, you can upload your own video directly from with YouTube.
Link to September Training as I just discovered that student notes are now downloaded as a Microsoft Doc if emailed or Google Doc if sent to Google Drive instead of a PDF as they have in the past. Truly disappointing and I've emailed everyone I know at Nearpod. Defeats the whole purpose of reviewing videos and/or links of resources shared!
Prodigy Math Game (free and excellent up through 8th grade) but great article on The 6 Types of Assessment.
