Community Review for Nearpod
My Take
I think this is an excellent product and would recommend it to any teacher at any grade level. There are many free lessons available in the library to get started and it is very easy to create new lessons or convert PowerPoint lessons into nearpod lessons.
How I Use It
I have used this app for both in class presentations and homework. It is a great tool for controlling the pace of a lesson and also keeping students on task. As a homework tool it provides scaffolding for student learning and excellent feedback to the teacher.

While this will not be a problem for me personally, I can see this being an issue for larger classes in a college setting.
