Case Study: Socorro ISD boosts remote student engagement with Nearpod

Socorro Independent School District boosts student interactions to 5.5M+ in April with Nearpod

Socorro Independent School District, a K-12 district in Texas, faced the challenge of rapidly pivoting to distance learning at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed a solution that would work for all students, including English learners and those without reliable home internet, while maintaining rigorous instruction and student engagement without overburdening teachers with new tools. They turned to the edtech platform Nearpod to address this challenge.

The platform's features, such as formative assessments and dynamic media, allowed for real-time student feedback and engagement. The solution was highly successful, leading to a dramatic increase in usage; active teachers grew from 695 in February 2020 to 2,666 by April. Student interactions skyrocketed to over 5.5 million in April alone, totaling over 11 million for the school year, demonstrating Nearpod's significant impact on maintaining student participation and motivation during remote learning.
