Nearpod Lessons for Replayable Audio and Individualized Learning
Help me give my students lessons which have integrated audio that can be paused & replayed, using a Nearpod Gold software license.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Scalercio's classroom raised $233
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I am a special education teacher and also teach Career Exploration. My lessons are usually highly customized, either to the needs of an individual student or to local career pathways available to our students. These courses don’t translate well to textbooks since they are customized to local information or to a student’s individual needs.
I have been using Nearpod to create materials for my students.
This is a widely used application that can be accessed via student Chromebooks or personal devices such as phones and iPads.
By integrating spoken voice audio with presented materials, it is possible for a student to pause, rewind and replay a section. This can be very helpful for a student with disabilities or who is still learning English. I combine this with review questions and can see what skills have been learned and which to focus on.
I am presently limited to 40 students at a time. With this limitation I have to be very careful as I cannot use this with all of my career exploration students as I have over 20 per class. I am hopeful that I can upgrade to a paid plan which offers more licenses.
With the free version of Nearpod, I am limited to only 40 students per lesson, which does not cover all sessions that I teach. If I had a gold plan, I can have 75 students, which would cover all students that I teach, as well as integrate Google Slides. This simplifies the interface for the students as they are already familiar with Google Slides.
More than half of students from low‑income households
