Nearpod

Pros: Nearpod is a great platform for student engagement and management. It has an attractive user interface and integrates easily with programs like Google Classroom.

Cons: While allowing teachers to monitor student performance, Nearpod falls short of eliminating distractions for students. If it could block access to outside websites, it would be a game changer for classroom management.

Pros: Nearpod is excellent for classroom engagement and management. It allows teachers to monitor students as they present information and teach new content. Nearpod's slideshow presentations can be customized and easily shared on platforms such as Google Classroom.

Cons: Nearpod does not allow an option for teachers to block out other websites while the students are online. It would be great if this were an option, so that teachers know their students can only access the website they choose.

Pros: I like the activities that can be used on Nearpod. They can be very engaging for students. They have made many changes, though and I do not find it as user-friendly any longer.

Cons: The customer service leaves a lot to be desired. They are unhelpful and there are many bugs. It is overpriced for individuals.

Pros: I love the ability to interact with various types of questions and formats. I can add video or websites without my students leaving the lesson. It really cuts down on distractions when using technology. Students are really into gaming, so I have the option to "gamify" a lesson with gaming activities. The pre-made lessons are really great and engaging.

Cons: I don't like that the free subscription doesn't allow to use Google slides. I already have numerous presentations that I would love to use but can't with the free version. If you teach core classes there are a ton of ready made lessons to choose from, but I teach an elective so it is more limited.

Pros: Classroom engagement tool for higher education classrooms

Cons: Accessibility concerns for higher education. Content must be able to be navigated and interpreted with screen readers.

Pros: I have been using Nearpod in my classroom for the past few months. I like that the software is very easy to use and allows teachers to customize lessons and adapt pre-made content to fit their needs. When I first started out teaching, I created every single thing I used in the classroom. Once I learned there are programs for teachers, my life became so much easier. Nearpod is one of those programs that are great to have. Being able to integrate Nearpod with Microsoft Teams was very helpful. I am only using the free version at the moment but plan to buy a subscription.

Cons: The biggest con of Nearpod is the price of a subscription. The free version lacks many of the important features. Another complaint is a few times a week, students have trouble getting the app to connect. Once students refresh, it usually fixes the issue. But having 30 students having trouble is never good.

Pros: Nearpod is very interactive and has a ton of ready-made content.

Cons: It takes a while to be able to use all the features with ease.

Pros: Activities that you can create to engage students. Love the time to climb and interactive features. Like that you can embed videos and use what others have created

Cons: It can be time consuming to create activities and turn a PowerPoint into something interactive.

Pros: I like the ideas behind it and the variety of tools it offers.

Cons: I think, in the end, it's software that just relies too heavily on devices in front of students and may detract from a personal connection with students. Some of its tools are redundant with other software and may be slightly unnecessary. I can see, however, how some teachers may really use it well and benefit from it.

Pros: Es una excelente plataforma para sesiones interactivas para sesiones virtuales con estudiantes. Ofrece una serie de actividades de gamificación que son divertidas y motivantes para los estudiantes.

Cons: Los costos que implica tener acceso a mayor cantidad de proyectos.

Pros: I like how Nearpod has changed and adapted over the years to meet the needs of the upcoming generational interests in digital tools. It seems like every time I visit the site, there are new features available. It is also easy to integrate into an LMS automatic sign in.

Cons: Nearpod would benefit from new branding because most people associate it with the way it used to be-- an online powerpoint platform.

Pros: Everything was good until they stole my content.

Cons: $7d

Pros: What I love about Nearpod is the extensive library of lessons and activities for students. I also like that Nearpod had the extension for google slides to take existing PowerPoint and import them to Nearpod to make them more interactive.

Cons: The lessons can be isolated and don’t always build as a curriculum would, but it’s a great supplemental resources.

Pros: I like that when provided with a nearpod link you can complete/participate in the nearpod at your own pace.

Cons: There is not anything that I do not enjoy about this software.

Pros: Ease of use - digital upskilling is made easy by Nearpod training and tutorials.

Cons: Back end Control Panel could be better.

Pros: Nearpod has so many options as far as features; it's a teacher's dream. You can see student responses easily and have them recorded. The possibilities are endless as long as you're creative.

Cons: Because Nearpod offers so many features, it can be difficult to learn how to navigate the software.

Pros: Nearpod provides a great way to assess students and present imformation at the same time.

Cons: Sometimes there is a lag when seeing students screen

Pros: Nearpod turned an otherwise boring class into a great and fun learning experience. There were so many cool features that my teacher was able to use to keep our class engaged.

Cons: I don't have any complaints or cons about the software. The developers did a great job, and I only have positive things to say.

Pros: We used this program during COVID online and still use it.

Cons: It’s hard to describe what one believes is less desirable.

Pros: Time to Climb, On the Fly questions, collaborate board,

Cons: I do not have any complaints about the softward

Pros: It is very simple tool for students interactive presentations contained quizzes, polls and videos. Very useful to make your module more interactive and interesting. Good point about it, while making the quiz and by mistake closed, once you re-logging in you are still there.

Cons: Some competitors have more functions than it. But considering the simplicity, it is the best.

Pros: Students love it. Teachers love it. Easy tool for admin to observe classes.

Cons: Not too much to complain about. Just learn to use it.
