What teachers say about Nearpod
鈥淣earpod is essential for distance learning because it is very interactive. You are able to see participation and not have to wonder if students logged on and walked away.

What teachers say about Classkick
“Before using technology to help with assessing student understanding I had a clipboard for each subject with TONS of copies of seating charts. I would quickly run around the room between problems and write down if students got the answer correct using a whole system of symbols. While this was great and served its purpose, I didn鈥檛 have time to catch every misconception and oftentimes I would move on to the next problem without remembering to take notes. My number one reason for loving @classkick is all the DATA it provides. As we move through a lesson I can efficiently see who is understanding and who isn鈥檛 using the amazing autograde features that change color based on their responses. I also filter the class from 鈥渓ow to high鈥 so my struggling kiddos are always at the top. This helps me call kids back for small group or walk over and provide support to those who need it.” – Paige Schrock, teacher
