FlipTech2020 Revisited – Nearpod for Starters

Looking back at FlipTech 2020, applying it to the rest of 2020 and beyond.

The Flipped Learning Network hosted a fully online conference where presenters from around the world and submitted short presentations to be viewed prior to the live discussion portion of the event.  The basic idea was to find a way to share “What works in 2020” with as many people as possible within the pandemic environment.   This series takes a look back at the presentations and some of the conversations from #FlipTech2020.

“I have used Nearpod for some years now, and I would like to teach others how useful has this tool been to flip my classroom for distance learning.  I would screencast to show how to create an interactive presentation from  zero, and to recommend some best practices for content delivery and formative evaluation using this tool.” 

Specific content: Introduction to Nearpod, differences between free and licensed versions. How to import a presentation. How to add different types of content (video, field trips, PDFs) and activities (closed and open questions, matching pairs, collaboration, etc). Connection with Google Slides. Tips for presenting and analyzing results and statistics.

Presentation: Main Video

Does this sound like something that you might be interested in developing a presentation for?  Here (potentially) is your chance. The FLN is considering a spring 2021 version of FlipTech and a little further into this series we may be opening an opportunity for you to participate.  For now read, view, and enjoy the articles in this series with an eye to how you might participate later this spring or summer.
