Nearpod vs. Quizizz

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

It is best suited in webinars since face-to-face is not yet allowed, we need to find or look for something that will create a bond with clients. It is very effective today, fun check or learning check after the presentation gives additional fun to each and everyone during the training.

• Provide timely and individualized feedback.
• Allow for the teacher to check for understanding, for the entire class, in one view.

Incentivized

• It has a large library of already-made quizzes that can be searched fairly easily.
• It has side-by-side views of what the students see and what the teacher sees.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Modifying existing quizzes often simply does not work: the system looks up when I try to add new items.
• Quizizz has no easily discovered way to change titles of quizzes.

Goal is to continue our subscription for the 2019-2020 school year

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.

All reports are very informative and you can analyze the data by student, by class, or by question. The ease of sharing the assignments via Google Classroom is seamless! Teachers can input their own media and questions for anything (quiz, test, survey, emotional check in, etc)

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.

We switched out Google domain, and their support people transferred everthing

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.

I prefer Quizizz to Kahoot for the report options, accessibility functions, and leaderboards. When I am using Kahoot whole group it is hard to see the question and answer options. Students used to only have the colored buttons to choose from on their screen, but now they have the ability to see them on the screen. The question bank for Quizizz is so much more extensive and the ease of making your own is appealing.

Incentivized

• Nearpod has a positive impact on my students because they learn while using technology vs. traditional method.

• I cherish the fact that the teacher is in control but the activities are all student centered and fully engages them.

Incentivized

• Fewer meetings necessary - can check via poll or quiz
• Presentations made available at any time
• Reusable resources frees up HR personnel time
