Nearpod integration with Canvas

 Nearpod in Canvas

Nearpod can now be assigned to students directly through Canvas!
-Students no longer need to use a code to access a specific Nearpod presentation you have selected.

Here's how it works:

First, be sure you have browsed the Nearpod library for a presentation, then added it to your "My Lessons" library.

Next, log into Canvas, and access your course.  

Click on "Assignments", then +Assignment to create a new assignment.

Add all of the usual details to the assignment; including title, description, sync to SIS, etc.

In the "Submission Type" drop box, select EXTERNAL TOOL. Then click FIND.

Next, scroll until you find NEARPOD in the list. Click on NEARPOD.

It may ask you to verify your Google email. Then it will load your Nearpod account "My Lessons" library.

Hover over the presentation you wish to assign. Select either "Student-paced" or "Live Participation".

When you return to the External Tool window, click SELECT.

Now, you will see a link to your Nearpod in the link box. You will also have the opportunity to have the Nearpod open on student screens in a new window:

Continue to complete the assignment settings as you normally would. 

Click Save or Save and Publish.

Here is what the students see when they click on the assignment with a Nearpod included:

Students click on the rectangle to load the Nearpod presentation.

It will then prompt students to add their name and join the Nearpod presentation.

Nearpod will now work just as it has in the past, using either student-paced or live presentation.
