I have a very diverse groups of students. They come from many different backgrounds. I have more than 75% of class coming from a low socio-economic status in rural West Virginia. The time that we have in the classroom together is filled with many meaningful experiences.
My students' families don't have the means to provide their children with meaningful, educational experiences at home, so that is my duty to do for them while they are in my care.
My students are hard workers and strive to always do their best. They deserve a teacher that is knowledgeable and has the ability to provide some amazing learning experiences.
My Project
As a teacher I can create presentations that can contain Quiz's, Polls, Videos, Images, Drawing-Boards, Web Content and so on with Nearpod. I can also access over 7K k-12 standards-aligned lessons.
My students are very technology driven, so I try to incorporate it into everything we do in the classroom.
I will use Nearpod to make our lessons more engaging and to beef up the material. My students love using Nearpod. They love the fact that they can see everything that’s being displayed and that they can compete with other students during quiz time. I love Nearpod because it promotes engagement. I rarely have to get onto students for not paying attention during lessons because they are engaged with Nearpod, and me.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
