"great for student engagement"
5/5

What do you dislike about Nearpod?

There's not much I dislike about this learning resource. The only thing I can say is that I have found that Nearpod is not always easy for every student to interact with the lesson. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful for Interactive Presentations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Nearpod?

Nearpod is easy to use. It helps take a simple presentation and makes it more interactive. It is great to use for educational presentations. I would recommend Nearpod to other educators, especially for older students. Nearpod works especially well for English language learning students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nearpod?

It did take a little while for me to figure out how to use Nearpod. One is definitely able to figure it out, but at the same time, I would not say it is intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective and engaging tool for teaching or presenting"
4/5
What do you like best about Nearpod?

Nearpod keeps adding new engagement tools, the share screen feature is GREAT for the audience (whether student or adults) what you're seeing. This is a GREAT tool for increasing engagement. With the paid version, I love the assign homework feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nearpod?

It's costly for individuals to purchase when district or company won't pay for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Loving Nearpod!"
5/5
What do you like best about Nearpod?

I love how there is a library with already made nearpods that I can use. I also love how easy it is to use, and my students are very engaged with the lessons-especially the virtual field trips. When students are given an assessment within the lesson, it is graded right then and I have results right at my fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nearpod?

I'm not too fond of that it often kicks students out of the nearpod lesson, and they have to go and sign in again. This seems to be happening more and more frequently than in past years. I do not like that there is potentially a cost to use this. With Covid, I have been able to use this for free but I'm afraid I will have to have a subscription soon.

"Nearpod for Learning"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Nearpod?

Nearpod is a program that helps the educator and the learner interact. It is set up to help give immediate feedback on the content that is being taught or discussed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nearpod?

A dislike that Nearpod has is that if you sign out and sign in again it makes the names double instead of letting one keep the same names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nearpod Steps Up Its Game"
5/5
What do you like best about Nearpod?

Nearpod has nearly seamless integration with Google Slides. It has a robust library of quality premade lessons along with numerous resources to build your own. Most recently, they have incorporated Flipgrid and Flocabulary into it. It also allows for stopping points in videos for questions like EdPuzzle, so it eliminates the need for some other programs. Once you build a lesson, it is easy to move components around and add, delete, or change them. It has stepped up its game and now leads the crowd in my opinion.

What do you dislike about Nearpod?

I do not have any dislikes or suggestions at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Resource for Groups Large & Small"
5/5
What do you like best about Nearpod?

The whole class can log in simultaneously and interact with each other while giving me enough control to make sure inappropriate things are not said/posted. The interactives are engaging and meaningful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nearpod?

I get hung up switching from teacher view to student view occasionally, and it can be time-consuming to set up initially. However, these things are worth the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transforming learning experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Nearpod?

Nearpod allows interactive activities in the classroom which teachers can moderate and record for future reference. It's a wonderful way to monitor students' participation and engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nearpod?

Not something I dislike, but the limited question and activity types can make it hard to conduct and moderate certain activities.

For example, the Time to Climb activities does not show real-time results. You know who is doing well, but you do not know how exactly they are performing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to make lessons come to life!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Nearpod?

There are so many different options of what you can put into a Nearpod slides for students, from questions, to videos, to games, to 3D images that they can turn around and look all around at! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nearpod?

With all of the options, it can sometimes get a little overwhelming and easy to try to do too much with a single presentation, which can be distracting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
