Love the concept, would like more flexibility!

How I Use It

I use Nearpod in my technology class to present content, send activities to students, and check for understanding (CFUs). It's awesome for quick CFUs as they're seamlessly built into the platform, and they are also great for sharing sites, like Khan, where learning activities live. Students enjoy it, and it helps me maintain pace instead of sharing links via Hapara or a short link. What's tricky is that there is limited flexibility in the slide creator. In addition, pre-made Nearpod, like the Digital Citizenship Nearpods made by Common Sense Media, aren't editable. I would like to make changes to them to meet the needs of my students. This has made for some confusing lessons where I might skip 10 slides that aren't relevant to my students - clearly not ideal.
