Each lesson is conducted using Nearpod. Nearpod is a digital tool that uses slide-based learning resources that are interactive for students to engage with and learn from. Each learner will access their own set of Nearpod slides to participate in the lesson by completing fill in the blank questions, matching activities, multiple choice questions, drawing tasks, responding to open ended prompts and quiz games. Nearpod can also use gamification of information to make learning more engaging and fun.

*Leaves of Learning Academy is an organization on Outschool with about 18 teachers. Occasionally, the teacher for this class may not be able to teach and a substitute teacher from the organization will take her place. Only teachers trained to teach this class will serve as a possible substitute for the class. A message will be posted in the Outschool classroom before the class takes place in the event a substitute will be teaching. I am happy to offer a refund to any learner who prefers not to attend the class with a substitute. Please send a message through Outschool in that event and I will issue a refund. Thank you!
