My Project

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and bring unique strengths to our classroom. They are bright, curious, and eager to learn. However, keeping them engaged and meeting their different learning needs can be challenging with traditional instructional tools. Many of them benefit from learning through movement, visuals, and hands-on activities. That’s why I’m requesting a subscription to Nearpod, an interactive teaching platform that allows me to deliver engaging lessons, assess student understanding in real-time, and support every learner with personalized instruction. Nearpod would give us the ability to bring these experiences to life digitally, whether we're learning in person or virtually.

Nearpod offers lessons across all subject areas, from math and science to reading and social-emotional learning - it allows students to interact through quizzes, polls, drawing tools, and collaborative boards—all within a safe digital space and supports audio and visual learners with multimedia tools that bring lessons to life.

With Nearpod, I can better meet the needs of my diverse learners—whether they’re working at grade level, need extra support, or are ready to be challenged. It helps me quickly identify who needs help and who’s ready to move ahead, so no one falls behind. With Nearpod, my students will be more engaged, more supported, and more empowered to take ownership of their learning. It will transform our classroom into a more interactive, inclusive, and fun place to learn.

Thank you for supporting innovation and creativity in education!
