Nearpod Review : An Assessment Application in ICT.

 Nearpod usage in ICT. (Assessment)

Definition :

Nearpod can help add a layer of interactivity and feedback to slideshow-style lessons; give students opportunities for interaction and immediate feedback by having them draw on a map or diagram, respond to a poll question, post a note or image to a collaboration board, take a multiple-choice quiz, or participate in a gamified Time to Climb challenge.

Nearpod benefits : 

At its most simple, you can use Nearpod as a substitute for other presentation tools. Instead of running a Power Point or Google Slides, you can utilize Nearpod and make the lesson more interactive. You can even drag and drop your existing Google Slides, PDFs, and PowerPoints into the app for it to instantly create a Nearpod presentation. Then you can select from countless interactive activities and formative assessments. The presentations will be beamed to each student’s device in the classroom. You also do not have to rely on students being able to see the board.

In the digital era of education, the use of ICT tools is important for all human activities. School children, college students, graduates of various streams, and teachers are dependent on digital technology for teaching and learning. Student interaction and engagement is one of the challenging tasks in an online classroom for teachers of various streams to deliver the knowledge efficiently. An interactive Web-based platform improves the learning experiences of students and reduces the teacher effort. The transition from traditional lecture-based teaching methods to interactive learning can be accomplished by using various interactive tools such as Nearpod, Kahoot, and Socrative.
