Simple interface. Easy to learn and easy to use. Students like that they can access information and activities during class and on their own time. I like the formative assessment tools and the library of great resources that are provided for educators so you don't have to reinvent the wheel! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes students can get bored with the same old slideshows and activities. I wish there were some more choices when it comes to interactive activities. Some options to create your own widgets might be fun and allow more flexibility to adapt my lessons to a virtual format for students to engage with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Activities are engaging; reports are comprehensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is too pricey. It's a bit difficult for me to afford it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it keeps the students engaged. I also like that it can be used live or at the student's own pace. It is easy to use! It has a lot of really cool features. I think it makes my lectures fun! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were a few more Flocabulary for high school students. Also, it would be great if there were more videos to choose from. I usually use Youtube, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interaction ability. Nearpod offers objective questions, as well as open ended questions and creative answer choices. It also has a gaming ability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just like anything, it can be overused. Or if you do not use the interaction part, students will become bored. Don't just throw your powerpoint into it - make it interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how interactive Nearpod is. It's so easy to embed fun, formative assessment into any lesson. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like that the video feature allows you to ask questions that can be graded but does not allow you to enter reasons why the other answers are incorrect like Edpuzzle does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to track participation and easily convert to grades (or not), integrates with Google Classroom, easy to use for students Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The extra tab open was a bit much for younger students. Elementary students can be adept at using technology but may need more supervision to complete all slides, get to the end of the presentation, etc. independently. This may work better in a supervised, synchronous environment, which I look forward to trying. The expiration of the link was also troublesome with students who don't "play well" with deadlines. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows for student interaction from afar or in a classroom setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The codes are only good for 25 days or less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Nearpod's integration with Google slides, and that you can also make your own presentation within their software. When you send your Nearpod out to your students, the get to work on it on their own pace, and they can do the lesson multiple times. There are also some interactive features and linking to videos and other sites is quite simple. There is also a very extensive lesson library with lots of resources so that you do not need to reinvent the wheel. I also love that I can resume Nearpods later if we run out of time in class, and I do not need to start from the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Often times a student cannot save in progress, so if they are working on an assignment and leave it, they must start all over again. The prices in the teacher resource center are quite high. There are some free resources, but many of them seem to be for staff development, and I would like to see more teacher created resources that are available free of charge.

Nearpod allows for synchronous and asynchronous note taking. There are different ways for students to participate with one another in the notes and that allows for easy checks for understanding. Students can follow notes at their own pace, which allows for the teacher to check in with struggling students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most about Nearpod is that it’s difficult to navigate on a smartphone which could cause an issue for student or teacher users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely love you can select from predesigned lessons that educators have shared across the board or even create your own! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it can be time consuming creating your own lessons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
