User Testimonials
	DreamBox Learning by Discovery Education	Nearpod
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Nearpod works great in any classroom, but the presentation must be projected or each student must have access to a internet connected device. Incentivized Alan Wasmoen Professor Of Biology Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Provide timely and individualized feedback. Allow for the teacher to check for understanding, for the entire class, in one view. Present an array of different interactive lesson items, at the fingertips of every student. Incentivized Mike Rich Director of Innovation Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	The notes feature in Nearpod sometimes has bugs that can be bothersome. The free version of Nearpod is limited, and missing some of my most favored features. Becoming proficient at lesson creation outside of Google Slides can take some time until you have mastered the learning curve. Incentivized PH Peter Hemingway Teacher Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Goal is to continue our subscription for the 2019-2020 school year Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized PH Peter Hemingway Teacher Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized CW Carl Winter Teacher Read full review

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. Incentivized PH Peter Hemingway Teacher Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Isha Gangopadhaya First grade teacher Read full review
