In Nearpod we can also make quizes: activity called 'Time to Climb'. It is a multiple-choice quiz game that increases engagement with friendly competition. We can manage some settings before the start and here is an example of such quiz:
We can start a lesson by giving the most essential vocabulary and discussing it, then watch a video related to the topic, answer questions in the quiz and then match words with the pictures together. This lesson is interactive and effective for learners because it covers essential vocabulary, encourages discussion, incorporates a video for visual and auditory learning, includes a quiz for assessment and reinforcement, and engages students in hands-on activities like matching words with pictures. The varied activities cater to different learning styles, promoting active participation and practical application of knowledge. The sequential structure ensures a logical progression, and the flexibility allows for adaptation based on learners' needs. Overall, Nearpod lessons can create a dynamic and enjoyable learning experience.
