Nearpod
Nearpod is an amazingly simple tool to use for both teachers and students! An interactive presentation that can also be used to assess students, it can be used to do so many things in one application. Not only can this be used for a whole group presentation as a focus, intructional delivery, or a closure that can include videos, quizzes, additional resources and open-ended tasks; this can also be used in a more personal approach in which it is focused on one student or small groups. Formative and ongoing assessments can be done through this application, and also allow a creative outlet for students with a drawing feature and adding pictures.
