Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is so easy to use, works well with large groups, and I love that I have a saved archive of the Jamboards. I use this all the time with groups to do activities in facilitations, and rarely have any issues using it. It's fun, easy, and simple.

Cons

  • It does not work well on mobile, so do know that it is best for any other electronic device. It has a limited set of capabilities, but it isn't necessarily meant to be a revolutionary online whiteboard.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nearpod places the content on the student's screen, not just displaying on a shared board. I can add different interactive activities throughout my lessons and I get reports afterward that show student engagement and progress. I have been using this product since it first came out and prefer it over all other learning platforms.

Cons

  • It can be expensive for a private license, so it's best if you can get your school to purchase it. You cannot share Nearpod lessons on Google Drive with a private license; you can only share with a link through Nearpod. Obviously, I am pushing for my school to purchase it.
