Do you have Nearpod Lessons you'd like to Add to Otus? You can do so with Nearpod's share option using an HTML embed code. Here's how!
Embedding Nearpod
Step 1: Log into Nearpod and find the lesson you want to embed.
Step 2: Hover over the lesson tile, click the three dots in the top right, and choose Share With Teachers.
Step 3: Choose the embed option, and copy the long string of code.
Step 4: You can now add this Nearpod lesson to Otus, either to your Bookshelf or as a Lesson Activity.
Adding as a Lesson Activity
Step 1: While editing your Lesson, Select Add Activity.
Step 2: Select Add Resource.
Step 3: Select the Page option.
Step 4: Name your resource and click Next.
Step 5: Select the HTML option in the Toolbar.
Step 6: While HTML is selected and all the other toolbar options are greyed out, paste the code you copied from Nearpod into the body of the page.
Step 7: Select the HTML option again. You should see a red box appear that says iFrame. This is correct!
Step 8: Select Done. Add Instructions to your Activity and select Save. You have now added a Nearpod activity to your Otus Lesson. Preview the lesson to see how it will look!
