Community Review for Nearpod
My Take
This is a fantastic tool, especially for teachers who are concerned about kids having iPads and being distracted by all of the other activities available for them. This can help keep them on task. It provides teacher-directed lessons smoothly.
How I Use It
I use this to direct the instruction for an entire class. It keeps them on the same page, so to speak, and provides easy access into websites as well as a direct visual of the teacher's slides. There can also be built-in polls and quizzes, so checking for understanding is easy.

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.
