 This blog entry is about a tool of my choosing.

Link: https://nearpod.com/ 





Description: 

Nearpod is a platform that uses interactive presentations to engage the students while also asking assessment questions. This platform uses AI to save teachers time while still creating engaging lessons. This site also provides over 22,000 lessons, videos, and activities designed by a expert team.  

Ease of Use:

I would rate Nearpod's ease of use as a 9/10. This site has so many different lesson choices and it also uses AI so that the teacher can have a lighter work load. The site is fairly easy to navigate and has a lots of different potential ways of use. 

Versatility:

For versatility, I would rate this site a 10/10. Like I mentioned previously, this site has over 22,000 lessons that teachers can use and students can interact with. These make it easy it find a lesson for whatever you need.

Use it?:

For use it, I would rank this a 9/10. I give it this because engaging students is a very important and useful way to learn. When we engage students in everyday lessons by using technology we are also preparing them for the future. 

Conceptual Connection:

One Conceptual Connection I can make is to the LAT framework, progressive 2. This focuses on project based learning which leads to a higher level of learning. By engaging students with interactive lessons we create a similar project-based ideas and can build off of the interactive lessons.

This is because the website is very organized in multiple ways. It has channels, subjects, routines, and different types of activities organized at the top of the site. It can also be trusted to be kid appropriate rather than youtube with little control in this aspect. Versatility: I give this a 7/10 for versatility.

Link:  https://www.youtube.com/ Description:  Youtube is a platform created by Google that is used to make videos and as a social media platform. This is a platform where people can share videos that they created. As an educational tool, Youtube has many different formats of learning such as lecture, self-paced learning, visual aids, etc.  Here is a link to help teacher use Youtube effectively:  https://www.commonsense.org/education/articles/teachers-essential-guide-to-youtube Ease Of Use: I would give ease of use a 6/10 .
