✍Tutorial
👉click here to go to the homepage of nearpod or you can search "nearpod" in your phone app store. Then you can download this app on your phone.
You can easily create your lesson by uploading pdf, powerpoint, video, audio and so on. You can also give feedback to students. To show you how to use it, you can watch the video from Youtube below.
😄How can it be used in language learning
It could be used either in class or after class. It could be used as a platform to distribute resources to students like pre-reading or powerpoint presented in the class. When it is used during the class, the process of learning by Nearpod could be controlled by the teacher. Do not worry a lot that some students may not use their laptops or phones to do inappropriate things. The teacher can easily see who is viewing the Nearpod and who is not, which is beneficial to classroom discipline management.
I like the Nearpod VR which can increase the engagement of the students. The teacher can take the students to travel to other places. With 3D visual clues, the students could understand more easily.

ðŸ˜limitations
1 Although there are a large number of resources provided by Nearpod. Usually, you need to pay for them.
2 While it is used in the class, students' face-to-face interactions will be decreased. I suggest you ask the students to use it after class to save time in class for face-to-face communications. However, it is totally fine to use it in the classroom as long as the WIFI in the classroom is good.
