Nearpod Reviews & Product Details

Nearpod is a very useful website for reviewing and holding students accountable. There are a multitude of features that make reviewing and teaching new material easy and hands-on. The feature I use the most is the draw feature. This feature allows me to upload any math problem and then lets students draw and show their work by hand or typing. If it is a graphing problem, they can even graph it on another website, screenshot, and upload within Nearpod. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside is that students do not get a saved copy of their work. I wish it could export their responses so that we can have a PDF of the completed study guide at the end of class. That feature would help students retain the information more. The heavier features like Time to Climb the game are also sometimes too much for the internet to handle. The students sometimes get kicked off and have to rejoin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not enough features like another company I use. Wish there were more options available to get responses from students. Cant switch from teacher controlled to student controlled in one slideshow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nearpod allows me to create content and quickly and easily share it with my students and colleagues. They can be short, fun, and allow me to assess my students' knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Often times, because Nearpod has become so popular and over utilized, students will not engage with it as much because it has become "the norm". As an educator, we have had to complete a great deal of training on Nearpod and it can be made so that it is essentially a glorified powerpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to poll or ask questions during lectures. I also love the bank of pre-made videos with questions. This helps me to give my students a different perspective and make sure that they are paying attention to the important information. I also love using nearpod for reviews. I can quickly make a quiz and video for students to complete to review material before a test or quiz. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quiz creation can be a little slow and the bank of questions is very geared towards younger students and English more than science. I would love the ability to start adding questions to a bank that other science teachers can use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a district leader, I like the ability to curate a library of Nearpods for my teachers to use, broken down by grade level and topic. As a classroom teacher, I like the flexibility of Nearpod in being teacher-led or student-led. Additionally, the real-time data that teachers receive from student work allows for in-the-moment remediation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
