The Next Generation: Help Bring Nearpod To My Classroom

The Description

My students are constantly engaging with the technology around them. At our school we are lucky to have access to more devices than ever before, but leveraging these tools into effective learning experiences instead of a distraction can be a struggle. This year, I want to use these devices to make my classroom more interactive and engaging using Nearpod.

Nearpod turns basic presentations into interactive lessons that includes polls, open-ended questions, and multimedia content that every student can engage with. I will also be able to monitor all of the devices and student answers to clear up any misconceptions in real-time. This platform will allow all students to be a part of the learning experience and can be differentiated to meet the needs of all the students in my classroom. Nearpod also has a full content library where I can get highly curated, standards aligned lessons. The best part? Some even come with Virtual Reality experiences! I can’t wait to show my students this awesome technology.

I will also have access to Nearpod’s Common Sense Digital Citizenship curriculum based on research from Harvard’s Graduate School of Education covering important topics like Cyberbullying, Online Safety, Privacy & Security, and more!

This all sounds great doesn’t it? This is where you come in. A Nearpod Gold Account costs $120 per year and your generous investment would give my students access to all of these amazing features. Help me make sure that this is not another year of dusty computer carts and unengaging software!

Here is the breakdown in cost for fundraising for Nearpod

  • Nearpod - $120.00
  • Preferred Partner Program (10%) - $14.70
  • PledgeCents Platform Fee (5%) - $7.35
  • Processing Fee (3%) - $4.41
  • Total - $147.00 (rounded up to the nearest dollar)

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase...individual Nearpod lessons for my students so that they can still experience the wonders of VR through Nearpod as well as Nearpod's unique integration of formative assessments that produce real-time analytics.

About the Creator

Greetings and blessings! I am a teacher at Durant High School in Plant City, FL (GO COUGARS!) and believe that, in my 4th year as a teacher, I have found my niche: EdTech apprentice, supporter, and practitioner. I PASSIONATELY believe in the power of technology to transform education for students all over the world. I SINCERELY believe in its ability to offer equitable education despite a student's socioeconomic background and personal experiences. I STEADFASTLY believe that ANY technology that I use is only as meaningful for my students as the depth of knowledge that I have in its implementation. I ZEALOUSLY believe that technology allows for ownership over the PROCESS of learning so that gains in learning are aligned with the development of a "Growth Mindset": an education of the heart , mind, and spirit.
