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. ----- ### "Fantastic Nearpod" — 5.0/5 > **Reagan** | *April 16, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it’s super easy to use and there is amazing customer support. It is great for online learning and students are very engaged in the lessons, great student and teacher management and interaction and it is a lot of fun\! I never have any issues or bugs with it either\! > > **Cons**: There was absolutely nothing that I disliked about nearpod\! I have used it for years and I love it\! Such an amazing thing for the classroom\! > > Overall I have had an outstanding experience with Nearpod, I’ve used it for at least 6 years now as a student, and I will continue to use it for my future classroom when I become a teacher\! I love the different features that come with it and I know it is a great tool for getting students excited and engaged\! ----- ### "Used to love it, not anymore :(" — 1.0/5 > **Harley** | *August 6, 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. ----- ### "Not a bad system for younger kids." — 3.0/5 > **Kimberly** | *March 31, 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. ----- ### "Nearpod is Awesome but beware if you're in Higher Ed" — 4.0/5 > **Jeffrey** | *April 2, 2025* | Higher Education Software | 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. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/122875/nearpod?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
