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 like that it provides interactive RPG elements to keep persons engaged and that points can be accumulated between persons which makes for friendly competition amongst peers. It also makes for a great way to get grades for assignments.

Cons

  • So far I haven't found any problems with or related to Quizizz.
