NT Nicola T. M Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/19/2021 "Nearpod for the Classroom" 5/5 What do you like best about Nearpod? 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. What do you dislike about Nearpod? 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. Recommendations to others considering Nearpod: Try uploading PDFs or PPTs of previously made resources to quicken the start time of your use in class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Nearpod solving and how is that benefiting you? For hybrid learning, Nearpod has increased accountability. It is like a class set of whiteboards but some of my students are in person, and some are at home. That way I can track who is participating, and I can see all of their responses at once. It also does give reports about who joined and how many screens they completed, which is helpful when communicating with parents. The students also really enjoy it because it allows them to doodle and share their responses with the class and receive quick feedback from me. Overall, the students and I enjoy it.

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. What do you dislike about Nearpod? 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. What problems is Nearpod solving and how is that benefiting you? Engagement and assessment are the primary two currently. I also greatly appreciate that there is a Nearpod library that can be accessed and added to for others. It is a huge benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teacher Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/26/2021 "Nearpod is great for engaging students" 4/5 What do you like best about Nearpod? 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. What do you dislike about Nearpod? 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. What problems is Nearpod solving and how is that benefiting you? Without nearpod I wouldn't know whether my online students were getting it. During a normal school year I can walk around the room and get an idea of where students are. With Covid, I can't walk around the room as much since that breaks social distancing. I also can't know what the students online are doing. With nearpod, there are questions for them to answer during lecture so that I can get an idea after the notes on which students were engaged, which students got it, and which students need some more personal help.

K-12 Science Specialist Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 4/26/2021 "Nearpod For k-12 Education" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Nearpod? 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.
