Curricula vs. Nearpod

We use Curricula to level up our internal training programs. We are currently working on SOC-2 and HIPAA compliance and these training capabilities allow us to easily track progress and get the teams trained up quickly. Previously we had no training program internally and this will help us grow the business now that we can win deals in areas where these compliance measures are required. I think this is great for software companies training teams in remote settings because it is all self-paced and on-demand. We would never get through it all if we had to do it in a workshop in person setting.

While there is some learning curve to fully understand and know how to lead a lesson with Nearpod, once mastered successfully, Nearpod lessons are simple to create and deliver. When leading a lesson, it is relatively simple to see how everyone in the class performs and how well they participate and understand.

The support staff for Nearpod is top-notch. I have not had technical issues, but I did have a concern about my bill and they reached out to me nearly immediately to address the problem. I was very satisfied with how they handled the interaction from beginning to end. They did a great job.

Outside of Miro, Nearpod is my favorite program for leading a lesson. If I am presenting, and not requiring my students to perform any activities, then I really like Miro for presentations. If I have a large class, then I still prefer Nearpod to all others. Additionally, the more certain I am of what I want to do when, the more I like using Nearpod for lessons.

• Nearpod has a positive impact on my students because they learn while using technology vs. traditional method.
• My students' scores have improved ever since I've started implementing the consistent use of Nearpod.
• I cherish the fact that the teacher is in control but the activities are all student centered and fully engages them.
