My Take
Overall, I would highly recommend this APP for teacher led instruction or even student-led learning. This would be a great tool to get full engagement as you can control the slides and the activities they engage in. Students who were absent or missed class can also catch up by learning the lesson independently in their own pace.
How I Use It
I took some of my old powerpoint presentations about earthquakes and volcanoes and made a Nearpod presentation. In the new presentation, I included "checking for understanding" spots were students would take a poll, or a quiz. Students also had to draw and create their own volcano illustrations. I also embedded links to videos and reliable websites.

A teacher's best friend
Contrary to Rich B's take, I have always experienced speedy and responsive customer service whether I have been state side or abroad. Nearpod lessons are relevant, engaging, and flexible. Students love the lessons I have presented . The library is extensive, and helps differentiate lessons improving student engagement.

Terrible Customer Service
My overall opinion is that greed supersedes fairness with Nearpod. Do Not Give them your credit card info. They will abuse it.
