Gametize vs. Nearpod

Less appropriate: The Gametize QR code scanner does not work with Google Pixel phones. Some of our members couldn't get the QR code scanner to work. Well suited: allowed us to create multiple games.

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.

Gametize is way more friendly with the users, there are a lot of templates and ways to implement characteristics of other games and challenges to your own activities. Is very efficient with customer service and even if it's a little pricey there are softwares for gamification that cost even more.

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.
