You can easily create a Quick Start Activity in Nearpod to build a single opportunity to check for student understanding. These are great ways to bring formative assessment and engagement into your day when you don't have a lot of time to create a full lesson.
Quick Start Activities include:
- Matching pairs
- Time to Climb
- Draw It
- Drag & Drop
To get started, click on Create from your Nearpod home page.
Select the type of activity you want to build.
You will be brought straight into the editing screen for the type of activity you selected. To learn how to create each of the activity types, explore the articles below.
After you create and save the activity click on the title to rename it and click Save & Exit.
Note: If you would like to add additional pieces to your lesson, click on Add Content & Activities to keep building.
Your lesson will be saved in the My Lessons portion of your Nearpod account. Once you have saved the lesson, you can launch the activity from your homepage by clicking on Live Participation or Student-Paced.
