Nearpod works great in any classroom, but the presentation must be projected or each student must have access to a internet connected device.

  • The notes feature in Nearpod sometimes has bugs that can be bothersome.
  • The free version of Nearpod is limited, and missing some of my most favored features.
  • Becoming proficient at lesson creation outside of Google Slides can take some time until you have mastered the learning curve.

While there is some learning curve to fully understand and know how to lead a lesson with Nearpod, once mastered successfully, Nearpod lessons are simple to create and deliver. When leading a lesson, it is relatively simple to see how everyone in the class performs and how well they participate and understand.

The support staff for Nearpod is top-notch. I have not had technical issues, but I did have a concern about my bill and they reached out to me nearly immediately to address the problem. I was very satisfied with how they handled the interaction from beginning to end. They did a great job.

Alternatives Considered
  1. Byju's provide real-time tracking of progress by the students as well as their parents. However, the progress track of UnAcademy is not as intuitive as Bjyu's
  2. Byju's has courses for kids from a very young age. However, UnAcademy is for students above 9th grade
  3. Bjyu's is relatively expensive than UnAcademy

Outside of Miro, Nearpod is my favorite program for leading a lesson. If I am presenting, and not requiring my students to perform any activities, then I really like Miro for presentations. If I have a large class, then I still prefer Nearpod to all others. Additionally, the more certain I am of what I want to do when, the more I like using Nearpod for lessons.

Return on Investment
  • The cost per session gets too high, does not justify the ROI
  • Provides last minute much needed help with their mock test series
  • Majority of the teachers are knowledgable and teaches really really well

  • Nearpod has a positive impact on my students because they learn while using technology vs. traditional method.
  • My students' scores have improved ever since I've started implementing the consistent use of Nearpod.
  • I cherish the fact that the teacher is in control but the activities are all student centered and fully engages them.
