It allows teachers to monitor students as they present information and teach new content. Nearpod's slideshow presentations can be customized and easily shared on platforms such as Google Classroom. > > **Cons**: Nearpod does not allow an option for teachers to block out other websites while the students are online. It would be great if this were an option, so that teachers know their students can only access the website they choose. ----- ### "Not a bad system for younger kids." — 3.0/5 > **Kimberly** | *31 March 2025* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interactivity is great for getting student responses with a really good DOK. > > **Cons**: My middle school students absolutely hate it. It's like pulling teeth to get them to complete one. > > My biggest issue with Nearpod is that students feel that the options are a bit... babyish. They don't engage well with it because they don't enjoy using it. There's nothing to draw them into using one. ----- ### "Used to love it, not anymore :(" — 1.0/5 > **Harley** | *6 August 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the activities that can be used on Nearpod. They can be very engaging for students. They have made many changes, though and I do not find it as user-friendly any longer. > > **Cons**: The customer service leaves a lot to be desired. They are unhelpful and there are many bugs. It is overpriced for individuals. ----- ### "Nearpod is Awesome but beware if you're in Higher Ed" — 4.0/5 > **Jeffrey** | *2 April 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Classroom engagement tool for higher education classrooms > > **Cons**: Accessibility concerns for higher education. Content must be able to be navigated and interpreted with screen readers. > > Fun engaging content for learners who don't require accommodations. Can be used in online classrooms and in-person activities. Our ed studies department was all in on the pilot we had, but we couldn't sustain the institutional cost and use beyond the department due to accessibility concerns. Elementary ed instructors can use it because it is assumtion that student ents under the age of 18 are not subject to Section 508. ----- ### "Great Tool for Teachers\!" — 3.0/5 > **Parker** | *26 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using Nearpod in my classroom for the past few months. I like that the software is very easy to use and allows teachers to customize lessons and adapt pre-made content to fit their needs. When I first started out teaching, I created every single thing I used in the classroom. Once I learned there are programs for teachers, my life became so much easier. Nearpod is one of those programs that are great to have. Being able to integrate Nearpod with Microsoft Teams was very helpful. I am only using the free version at the moment but plan to buy a subscription. > > **Cons**: The biggest con of Nearpod is the price of a subscription. The free version lacks many of the important features. Another complaint is a few times a week, students have trouble getting the app to connect. Once students refresh, it usually fixes the issue. But having 30 students having trouble is never good. > > My overall experience with Nearpod has been decent. Nearpod is not my favorite tool as a teacher, but it's still nice to be able to create interactive lessons for my students. I use Nearpod often when I am going to be out of the classroom and have a substitute teacher. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/122875/nearpod?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/122875/nearpod) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
