More math with Nearpod today! 😍 I learned how to create an activity in google slides first, then add a drawing component to make the slide interactive in a MUCH faster way!! I’m sharing the steps below along with pictures in case anyone else is new to Nearpod like me...I hope this will save you some time! 1. Create all the visuals in google slides first, as you normally would. 2. Open the Nearpod add-on and select one of your slides. 3. Click the blue “convert to draw it” button at the bottom and the slide will ready for your students to draw on. 4. Repeat for each slide you wish to add this feature to. I used this to make four interactive slides with hundreds charts so we could look at patterns we noticed for different multiples. And the best part? Well, aside from how easy this way to create? I could watch my students work through each activity as we discussed the patterns...it was like having students sit around my table instead of working remotely 😍😭 #nearpod #googleslides #math #iteachmath #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram 
Oh.my.word!!! Nearpod 🤯! Where has this been all my remote teaching life?! Well, I’m actually glad I learned about it this year because it is perfect for my math intervention groups! In case you are new to Nearpod like I am, it’s an amazing extension that makes digital learning totally interactive. I learned about it at an awesome workshop recently. You can create in google slides like usual and add all kinds of interactive elements like quizzes, polls, response boards, etc. Since many of my groups are half in-person and half remote I’ve been really nervous about making sure we all have access to the same learning materials. Nearpod is a total gamechanger! Today I was able to work on finding multiples on a hundreds chart with my fully remote group. My students don’t have this chart at home, but it wasn’t a problem. They didn’t need anything extra...just access to my slideshow. As the fourth graders highlighted various multiples on their computers, I could watch their progress on my dashboard and get an instant look at their understanding. I still can’t get over it 😍 Do you use Nearpod with your students? Would you like to see more of what we do? I am beyond excited about this! #nearpod #googleslides #math #iteachmath #iteach456 #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram 
Labeling all the things looks a bit different this year. No nicely printed labels all bright and laminated. Things just change too much for that. But I do love these removable dot labels...they have been so helpful with labeling seating, student drawers, and manipulative kits! They’re not very pretty but they get things organized quickly and keep everything contained for individual students. I found them on Amazon...I shared the link in my profile in case you’d like to check them out (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BYT14Y7) How are you organizing your individual student supplies? #iteachmath #classroommanagement #classroomorganization #iteach123 #iteach456 #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram
