**CMCSS has purchased Premium Nearpod access for all educators. Several features are new to Nearpod or new with the Premium upgrade. Please see the list below for exciting new features!**
Slides appear in a scrolling view bar at the bottom of the current slide. A green/red symbol shows if all students are present or if some are signed out. The Show/Hide Names feature is on this bar. || || A teacher controlled Live Session can be ended or it can be left open and resumed for up to 15 days. To extend a Live Session, do not click "end session" but use the back arrow to exit. The same code will allow students to reenter the session. || || Once a teacher makes a session active, students can enter the session and proceed through the slides/activities at their own pace. Student Paced sessions can be left open and available for up to 30 days. || || Teachers have always been able to share a prepared lesson via email or other social media. Recipients can open and view a shared lesson or place an editable copy in their own library.
 * **Notes - For Students:**
 * When joining a session, students can click "Notes" at the right to access note taking.
 * Notes will be reflected on each slide of the Nearpod presentation.
 * Prior to the teacher ending the session, students can Save Notes and send a copy of the presentation with their notes to their Google Drive. || [[image:Screen Shot 2017-05-08 at 12.12.25 PM.png]] ||
 * **Folders - For Teachers:**
 * Teachers can now add a Folder from the New+ window.
 * The teacher can use these folders to organize his/her MyLibrary. Example - create a folder for a Unit then add all lessons for that unit to the folder. || [[image:Screen Shot 2017-05-08 at 12.07.55 PM.png]] ||

 * **New Sharing Feature**s:

In addition, teachers at CMCSS will now have shared public libraries. Teachers can place copies of a created lesson in a School Private Library that is available to all teachers at that school. || || There is no limit on the __number__ of lessons a teacher can save in their own library or on the __data amount__ of stored items.
 * **Unlimited Storage:**

There is a limit on the file size of individual files that are UPLOADED to Nearpod. ||  || All lessons available in the Explore library are now Free. When you click on a Paid lesson, the price should show as Free.
 * **All Content is now FREE!**

There are also many new content lessons that can be added to a teacher library and edited. Many are created by education industry leaders. || ||
 * **Audio - Device ONLY:**

If an audio file is embedded in a Nearpod slide, when the teacher advances to the slide in a Live Session, a pop-window will appear and allow the teacher to select "This Device Only" or "All Devices."

This eliminates the occurrence of an audio file playing on all student devices at the same time (which can be chaotic in a classroom setting). || || A teacher can now rename individual sessions of a Nearpod in the Reports section. This allows a teacher to identify a specific class period or group by name. In the past, it was just by the timestamp of the session. Click the edit pencil to the right of the session timestamp to highlight the session then rename. || || CMCSS Teachers and students will have access to a Learning Management System called Canvas beginning in 2017-2018.
