Interactive Presentations
Interactive presentation tools allow teachers to share information in a fun and interactive way with their students. Teachers can imbed quiz’s, polls, videos, images, drawing-boards, web content and so on into their formerly dull PowerPoint presentation. This allows the student to be engaged in their learning in a way no other generation previously was able to.
One Interactive presentation tool teachers can use is Nearpod. The apps concept is simple and easy to use. The teacher can create an interactive presentation without a degree in software development. The children can access a teacher’s presentation through a code. It is up to the teacher to then move the class through the presentation and let them interact with the media as they go. Because students are able to interact within the presentation they are more likely to remember the information in the future, and be overall more satisfied with the instruction they received.
Many teachers have concerns about using iPads in the classroom. iPads can potentially be a distraction to some students. Multitasking is highly prevalent with screen technology, and evidence is clear that multitasking during study or learning hinders academic performance. However, Nearpod tracks student engagement and allows the teacher to see if all the students are participating in the presentation.
Delivering a Nearpod presentation is a nice way of easing a concerned teacher into the world of iPadding. It’s as useful as it is simple to use.
Below I have attached a Nearpod presentation on chronic diseases that could easily be incorporated into the health classroom.
