My Take
I love this product - but I am bummed it has a minimum user limit of 20 for the free version.
How I Use It
Nearpod is great for keeping all students together in a presentation. It is basically like a PPT but with more features - and puts the 'slide' on each users screen. I love the polling and drawing feature! I had students draw molecules and I was able to quickly see who needed more help.

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

Students love the lessons I have presented . The library is extensive, and helps differentiate lessons improving student engagement.
