🖍️ Learning something new can be scary.... 🖍️

Your child may be enrolled in a course that will use Nearpod a lot and he/she has never done so.  It can be very nerve-wracking to be in a setting where one don't feel comfortable in front of peers!  Let me ease that anxiety.  I'll walk your child through many of the platform's tools and model how to use them.  Then your child will have time to practice using these skills without any peer judgement. After this class, your child is ready to tackle whatever academic content is thrown at them using Nearpod!  Ready to learn and have a blast? Let's go! 🚀📚✨
