Community Review for Nearpod
My Take
I really like this tool, and my students will start bugging me if I go to long without using it. They always seem to enjoy the lessons I do with it. The interactive features help to make the lessons more engaging and allow me to better track how well students are learning the material.
How I Use It
I use near pod to support interactive lesson design. As a tool, near pod helps take presentations to the next level, by allowing you to build in formative and summative assessments, guided exploration, video and more. The draw it feature allows high level tasks to be embedded in the lesson, and the reporting tools make it easy to go back and look at student work.

Engaging and easy to use for students
I think this is a great tool for me to use in my classroom. I loved how it works in real time to give feedback and monitor the progress that students are making. The only thing I didn't like about nearpod is that you have to pay for more than 40 students to the in the class at one time. 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.
