Engaging in Learning through Nearpod
Funded Oct 3, 2020I can't even begin to express my gratitude. By helping me purchase a subscription to Nearpod, you have allowed me to reach students in ways that have significantly impacted their learning.
We use Zoom, students can send private messages via Google Classroom, students have my cell phone number and can reach out at any time. However, where I find I Iearn the most from my students is through their responses in Nearpod. They choose this platform to ask questions and to let me know when they are stuck and need additional help. I can see their responses in real-time and address students individually about their misconceptions. I can form my small groups for targeted support based on what I see.
Your contributions have allowed me to connect with students in a meaningful way. We have been fully remote since November 2020. You have no idea how powerful this tool is in helping me in supporting students.
I cannot thank you enough!”

Funded Oct 1, 2020THANK YOU!
My school has been remote since November 2020. As a result, I just received your contributions this week. I cannot begin to explain what a huge impact your donations have already had!
Have you ever tried teaching derivatives remotely? I was dreading having to do this when I looked at my pacing calendar and saw that this unit fell while we are still remote. However, I have been able to introduce this (and other challenging concepts) with overwhelming success. Students were able to easily investigate the first and second derivatives of linear, quadratic, cubic, and exponential functions. They were able to make connections, connections that I didn't even see students make when I had previously taught this concept in person. Overall, I was just amazed. I couldn't have done it without you.
These investigations have allowed me to bring my teaching practice to the next level, despite the challenging circumstances. Having access to Gizmos has made me a better teacher. More importantly, it has allowed me to provide a better education for the students I serve.
There are no words to thank you enough.”
