ClassDojo vs. Nearpod

ClassDojo is well suited for keeping class attendance records. It provides teachers with an efficient means of recording student class attendance and absences quickly and accurately. Furthermore, it also allows them to track class participation levels in real-time. This can be especially helpful in classrooms where there are many students or if multiple class periods run at the same time.

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

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.

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.
