1. As a teacher doing blended this year, using 7 screens to group students for maximized learning online and inside my classroom, being able to run the presentation from my cell phone would greatly improve my quality of instruction and life in general.
2. Luckily, the majority of his lessons are of Nearpod variety and with the app he can work on those lessons from the phone if he gets annoyed or impatient in front of the computer screen.
3. Students think the app is easier to use than on a browser and it does work well from a PC, but not ideal if you're a teacher working from a phone.
4. Please work on this!As a teacher, the app does not give me the option to launch a lesson, only to enter a code and join a lesson.
5. I honestly see no positives in the app which is extremely inconvenient because the one time this is used, we get nothing but nearpod for course material.Nearpod is a very interactive platform for students to show their work and what they know.
6. 😐Many of my teachers use nearpod for lessons the website on the ground computer is great... But when I want to use my phone for these lessons I just cant.
7. The app will only allow you to input a code, and if you try to open Nearpod on a browser, it tells you to get a bigger screen or use the app.
8. We can end up spending a ton of time in front of the computer doing school work and it can be hard to keep him focused.
9. I'd like to use this on my phone to monitor reports of lessons set as homework, but I can't even do that on a mobile browser as it just keeps suggesting the app repeatedly.
10. I saved my progress when doing all the work, however, the app kept force closing and didn't save the progress at all.
11. Except...the app doesn't work either! Very frustrating for me as a teacher.
