Nearpod is a tool to create interactive presentations. Through Nearpod, users can create presentations containing multimedia content, quizzes, polls, activities, and assessments. These presentations are then shared with students who can access them on their devices and actively participate in real-time, while teachers can see the results and gauge their students’ performance. Also, users can access interactive lessons made available by other users on the platform. Nearpod offers a limited free version. In the case of teachers, they need to sign up for an account to create and deliver interactive presentations, while students can join sessions without an account by entering session codes provided by teachers.
Evaluation: Nearpod is a valuable tool to improve student engagement by creating interactive lessons. Its interface is intuitive and easy to use. It is similar to other tools such as Kahoot or Mentimeter but more tailored for classroom use. It is also available in app form.
Cost: Free limited version + paid plans available.
