Nearpod in Canvas
Nearpod was always so simple to use on its own, why should we use it in Canvas instead?
- Canvas automatically rosters your students. Students do not need a code to enter a lesson.
- Canvas can be added to modules to create easier transitions in lessons.
- Canvas passes back information that allows for easy teacher grading.
How to use Nearpod and Canvas
Written and animated directions can be found in the integration section of the Canvas Support Course. Enroll through the following link: Canvas FAQ, integrations, and Tips & Tricks.
