This December, Nearpod will be upgrading the following collections to the 21st Century Readiness program:

  • Digital Citizenship & Literacy (DCL)
  • Social & Emotional Learning (SEL)
  • College & Career Exploration (CCE)

By December 22, 2023, you will see the 21st Century Readiness program in the left-hand navigation menu. Here you will find DCL, SEL, & CCE lessons, as well as lessons on Financial Literacy!

NEW! Nearpod Brain Breaks

As a part of 21st Century Readiness, you will also have access to “Brain Breaks”! Either during a session or on its own, you can launch a Brain Break to help energize or calm students with some short videos.
