Community Review for Nearpod
My Take
I think this a great tool for sharing information on the students' screens on ipads, ipods, computers or other devices. You can choose pre-made materials or create your own. I do not like that you cannot make changes to the pre-made presentations on their site. Overall, it's a very useful app and we will be using it often in our ICTs, computer labs, and other classroom as well!
How I Use It
This is a great tool for teacher led instruction in small group or whole class. I used it with a small group of ELL students who needed help researching information about their topic.

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.

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.
