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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use , thorough, kids actually learn and don’t minds doing the work. Lessons and work sheets are provided. Can use as core curriculum and then outsource more supplementary work for the lesson provided.

Cons

  • Same sex books for kindergarten . I understand this is secular learning but it also says caters to all. I’m just assuming that, a lot of people homeschool to stay away from books like this especially having to explain this to a kindergartner. It should be up to me when I teach my kids about these things not just thrown in there randomly by a stranger. Does not align with my family values. Also some of the videos don’t load or are erased.
