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

  • - I can upload anything - Lots of ways to organize my content (in different padlets, within padlets by using sections, etc.) - New slideshow feature means I don't have to use Google Slides any more! - Love the customization options. Everything looks beautiful!

Cons

  • - Honestly can't think of any! While there is a limit on the number of padlets with the free plan, you can always archive/clear old padlets to make space for new ones.
