My Take
I love Nearpod. I wish my District would buy the full super duper version with all of the bells and whistles.
How I Use It
I used Nearpod in my Music Appreciation class. I presented a unit on Classical Composers which is usually tough for students with a short attention span. I played Moonlight Sonata for them during the Beethoven presentation and had them draw a graphic representation as they listened. They were excited to have their artwork displayed for their classmates.

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.

Terrible Customer Service
