Free Nearpod webinar
Here are the details for the Nearpod workshop I will be hosting next Thursday, June 4, 2020 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm CST.
I will be doing a presentation-style workshop next Thursday on using Nearpod. You will get the opportunity to participate in the workshop as a student as I model a pull presentation similar to attending a conference session. With that, I am planning to extend the length of the workshop a little to allow time for questions, etc. The session will begin at 10:00 am and last until 12:00 pm.

experts in distance learning warned that it can magnify inequities, with the most able and highly advantaged learners humming along while learners who need more support fall far behind.
ParentsTogether, in its survey of 1,500 of its members across the country, discovered big gaps — both by income levels and between families with and without children in special education. The online survey wasn’t a scientifically weighted sample, but it was geographically, racially and socioeconomically diverse.

I’m looking for a tool that will allow students to collaboratively create an “exhibit” at the end of an online class. Each student will be responsible for curating a selection of objects (art, photographs, music clips, and text quotes) with short explanations that we’ll put together in an exhibit on our class topic. I’ve thought of various formats—including possibly TimelineJS (I’m a historian)—but I wanted to see if anyone else had experience with this kind of assignment and recommendations of tools. My students have different levels of technology access and literacy, so my priority is simplicity and ease of use. Thank you very much for any suggestions you might have!
