Nearpod is a formative assessment and learning tool that allows educators to teach their students in a variety of modes, such as live participation, student-paced, and front-of-class teaching. With Nearpod, teachers have the opportunity to create their own lessons for their students or they can select from the more than 15,500 pre-created standards-aligned lessons. Educators can track students' learning through formative assessmentsand dynamic media, with the ability to adjust lessons on the fly, and offer support to students based on real-time performance data. Nearpod is a great interactive presentation tool that allows students to engage in several types of activities (e.g., drag-and-drop, multiple choice) during a synchronous or asynchronous presentation.

Educators have the option to choose among a variety of pricing plans, depending on what best fits their classroom's needs. Nearpod is currently used in 75% of districts across the United States, and is always taking in feedback from their user community to better their platform (Daniel Green, Vice President of Product Management). One of the main benefits to Nearpod is it provides educators with post-session reports after students complete a Nearpod session, which allows them to track the progress of their students and provide immediate feedback or identify areas that need to be retaught. Through Draw It, Polls, Drag & Drop, Open-Ended Questions, VR Field Trips, PhET Simulations, and more, students gain a deeper understanding of the topic, and are far more engaged in their learning.
