Experience this magical educational app that has been used by more than 1,000,000 students around the world within one year.
Nearpod is a must-have application for teachers and schools that have access to Microsoft Surface tablets for their classes.
What's Nearpod?
The Nearpod platform enables teachers to use their tablets to manage content on students' devices. It combines presentation, collaboration, and real-time assessment tools into one integrated solution. Nearpod is intended for both teachers and students, although the access to certain features and the submission of personal information differs between Teacher and Student mode.
In the Teacher mode, there are places where there is uncontrolled access to the browser and Personal Information is requested. We strongly advise against the use of Teacher mode by minors. A teacher must issue the correspondent PIN to a Student in order to use the application in Student mode. When a student logs in with that PIN, they will be part of an experience where they will not have uncontrolled access to the browser and there will be no place where they need to enter Personal Information.
