Jennifer Richards, Assistant Professor
Trudi Neubeck and the Nearpod Think Tank

The Nearpod Think Tank has been working hard to develop templates, training, and other resources that you can utilize in the classroom virtually or in person. Join us for our first Nearpod for beginners 1 hour in-service coming up in February. 

As part of the CARES grant, Tennessee 4-H was able to purchase a Nearpod subscription for 4-H agents across the state. Nearpod is an engagement app that can bring old and new presentations to life by adding interactive elements. These presentations can be shared virtually with 4-Hers or delivered in person.

Topics will include: 

• Using ready made presentations through the Nearpod library
• Importing presentations that you already have developed and implementing Nearpod engaging activities
• How to create Nearpod presentations through Google slides, PowerPoint, PDF, PNG files and more
• How to find and utilize other Nearpod trainings
• Working with the Tennessee 4-H Nearpod template
• Question and answer session
  

Be sure to request your Nearpod login by filling out the following survey:
