How to allow real-time collaboration with Nearpod

Nearpod gives teachers the ability to create and use interactive presentations in the classroom. They can include images, videos, documents and other materials and combine them with different kinds of activities: questions, polls, quizzes, etc. Once prepared, the teacher gives a code to the students so they can follow everything and participate in the activities using their own devices.

Easy, right? 🙂
