Training Specialist and Certified Nearpod Trainer Olivia Odileke Launches Beginner’s Guide to Nearpod: A Tool for Transforming Virtual Teaching in K-12
Odileke’s new book focuses on helping educators with virtual teaching by offering tips and easy to implement strategies to promote student engagement.
MELBOURNE, FL– As students across the world transition to a virtual learning environment, there exist students who always have their hands raised to participate and those who are hesitant to engage. According to a poll conducted by the National Parents Union in September 2020 of more than 1,000 public school parents, 58% of students learn entirely online. Another 18% receive a combination of remote and in-person instruction, with less than a quarter of students learning entirely in-person.
Recognizing the challenges teachers face meeting student needs while adapting to the constant changes that come with virtual learning and getting students to participate during a global pandemic; Olivia Odileke’s new book Beginner’s Guide to Nearpod: A Tool for Transforming Virtual Teaching in K-12 will give educators tips and strategies for improving student engagement using the Nearpod tool.
With Nearpod, students can participate in lessons that contain virtual reality, 3D objects, PhET simulations, and so much more. Using Odileke’s book as a roadmap, educators can engage students as they learn while having fun.
“My goal is to help teachers be fearless in meeting the ever-changing needs of our nation’s students. We must unlearn and relearn virtual teaching strategies that make sense and work for our communities, especially our urban communities. Everything starts with a teacher.”
