Genially vs. Nearpod

All the controls needed to make presentations interactive using unique content are accessible easily from the platform's menu, and there is no programming knowledge required to make this work. Genially's support for collaboration enables multiple people to work on the same document for faster completion of a project.

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.

I prefer Genially if I need to make it interactive but use Canva when I'm more in a rush and need a nice design. Also, if I know I need to use different images I usually prefer to use Canva because you can save them there and it has more templates for me to choose from. Having said all that, I love Genially because it allows me to do things no other app can.

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.
