 How Does Nearpod Address our
Problem

The  solution: Schools and teachers will be able to access an array of resources that provide more in
depth explanation while keeping their students engaged in the subject. 

Teachers will have the option to select presentations by experts in a particular subject matter or virtual
situations that can either provide information or allow for interactive learning at a low cost to the
school.  

Students will be more engaged in learning the subject as they will have a better capability to visually
place themselves in the learning situation using computers, laptops and other tools. 

By bringing in this type of  technology, students can apply the information learned to real life situations
keeping them focused, interested, and actively engaged in learning.
