My Take
I love Nearpod! I really like being able to create my own lessons with the Nearpodize app and edit existing lessons. My only complaint is that students cannot log back in the next day and continue working on their project.
How I Use It
I use Nearpod daily in my classroom. I love the free Icebreakers lessons. I used 3 of them at the beginning of the year to get to know my students and also to help them become familiar with the Nearpod platform. The students really love the creative side that allows students to draw, type, and insert images.
I really enjoy the Common Sense Media lessons. I used the free versions and ended up purchasing the entire K-2 and 3-5 units for use in my school.

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.
