Educators love collaboration. NGPF Virtual PDs provide perfect opportunities for this to take place. We are starting a new feature in the blog, The Collaboration Series, to share great ideas coming out of NGPF Virtual PDs. One of the powerful engagement tools on Nearpod, the Collaborate Board, provides space for teachers to post ideas to a given prompt.
Imagine the value of collecting responses from dozens of teachers on implementation strategies for a specific resource in just a matter of minutes. Now imagine each teacher reviewing that list, selecting the 3-4 they like best and then seeing a list sorted by popularity.
Read this weekly post and you will get implementation ideas on various NGPF resources, strategies to engage your students in a Zoom world and other useful teacher tips.
This week's Collaborate Board was created by a team of teachers at the "Creative Instruction: Podcasts in the Classroom" virtual PD held on Saturday. While close to 50% of the attendees didn't listen to podcasts on a regular basis, after 45 minutes they were excited to weigh in on this question:
What features would you like to see in a podcast product?
Consumer spending is expected to reach $8.05 billion, down slightly from $8.78 billion in 2019, due to the drop in participation. However, consumers are spending more on the activities that will ensure a memorable holiday. Those who are celebrating plan to spend $92.12 on average compared with $86.27 in 2019.
