As students begin to embark on the testimonies presented in To Kill a Mockingbird, we used Nearpod.com in lieu of doing an article of the week packet. Students were exposed to the same information, just in a different medium. As a result of this interactive forum, students were engaged the entire hour in what they were learning! Below are a few snapshots of students’ testimonies about today’s learning experience:
- kept me engaged
- we should do this more often
- had a great time with this new method of learning
- engaging and interactive
- forces me to think quicker
- allows us to go more in depth on a topic, which helped me to understand it better
- we should do this more because it gives us the opportunity to work with technology, which will help us fit in and excel in the real world
When it came to student engagement, 78% of students polled shared that they were engaged 90 – 100% of the lesson, the remaining 22% said they were engaged for 75% of the lesson.
The next step… to have students create their own Nearpod learning experiences to share with the class. I can’t wait!
