Lisa has 13+ years of educational experience ranging from teaching HS English & MS Math to international curriculum development, creating and presenting workshops, and even running technology integration camps across the state. Currently, Lisa serves as an Educational Technologist for Eanes ISD which proudly supports an 1:1 iPad initiative from K-12. Additionally, she has been recognized and selected as an Apple Distinguished Educator.

Her love for “cooking up” technology integrated lessons and the need for a creative & productive outlet led her to create the TechChef4u blog in early May of 2011. Lisa continues to share her app-thusiasm for iLearning and purposeful integration of mobile devices in schools districts and conferences worldwide. She feels very strongly about providing authentic and engaging professional development resources across multiple platforms (e.g. Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Google+, Thinglink, iTunes U, MailChimp... ) to meet the needs of a diverse population of educators.

Other TechChef4u delectable digital delights are the TechChef4u app, “Hot Apps 4 HOTS” iBook, and “Appy Hours 4 U” podcast. Recently, Lisa has expanded her interests in technology integration to include a Chic Geek iJewelry line (now available on etsy) to fully support those that enjoy dressing the part... ;)

What Assessment Types Are Actively Available within Nearpod?

- Open ended question: question or prompt and can include a photo

- Poll: poll (not meant to have a right or wrong answer) and can also include an image

- Quiz: Includes multiple questions with right and wrong answers

- Draw It: drawing response (can include prompt and a background image or blank canvas for students to annotate).

To avoid issues with the presentation, remind all students to update the app prior to class.

To make the most of your instructional time, provide the Nearpod code to students as they enter the room (perhaps on the board). This while ensure that by the time you are ready to begin the presentation, all technology glitches will be resolved.

To avoid confusion within the student delivery as well as the end results, it is advisable to start a new session for the presentation each class period.

Some teachers like to project all responses and feedback in real time rather than share individual reposes after they have been submitted.

If this is the plan, have students enter with an appropriate alias so students feel more comfortable providing honest and authentic feedback.

Get info on the Social Dynamic:

- are you ready to move on?
- project comfort (could you turn it in today, need 2-3 more days, or need to have a conversation)

If students accidentally submit an answer to early, they should be able to exit the Nearpod presentation and jump back in and edit their originally submitted response if the teacher has not moved to another slide.

While you may want to begin sharing responses and data with your class, not all students may have had time to submit a response. To ensure that all students have adequate time to respond before the share of data, set a timer and notify students of the time limit.

Death by PowerPoint can be just as prevalent in Nearpod. Make sure you are colliding pedagogy, appropriate questioning strategies, and elements of design within your presentation to engage your students.

There are so many tools that can be shared and interacted with via Nearpod beyond the polling, drawing, and open-ended responses:

Maslow's actually falls into two categories:

- WIFI: always have a back up plan if your WIFI is down or acting wonky.

- Student Maslow's: Consider adding a question that addresses belonging or interest in the student prior to the content presentation such as "Draw How You Are Feeling Today".

Consider scaffolding student learning using drawing and text responses, additional links, and more:

- Have students draw an image or submit a text response

- Provide an article, a video, or additional slides of information

- Create an additional opportunity for student response to showcase new learning

Nearpod is a wonderful tool for figuring out what students are thinking. But consider using it to find out more about your own delivery and pedagogy by asking quick questions at the end such as:

- How Did I Do Today? (too fast, too slow).

- The Material Today Was... (Too Easy, Just Right, Too Hard)

- I felt Challenged Today...

- What Would you Add or Change about this Process or Presentation?

- # of Problems and Examples (just enough, not enough, would like to see more examples with...)

Consider Taking Action based on the feedback...

This exploration gives you a better idea of what you can do with a deck and what you do and don't like about all facets of a presentation from design and content to interactivity and level of questioning.
