Product Feedback

Allow teacher feedback to be given even for student paced lessons. Sometimes, I would switch from Live mode to student paced depending on the pace of each student and I find it inconvenient that I am not able to give feedback when I switch to student paced lesson.

it would be nice to, while in live mode, change the timer option. Add a timer or remove a timer or add more time to an existing timer.... that would be nice! Sometimes i think it will take a certain amount of time, but then Im wrong.... THANKS! P.S What if I could choose the amount of time I want...what if I wanted 15 minutes and 37 seconds...?

Desperately desperately would like student paced lessons with no expiration date

The Immersive Reader button covers my title sometimes. It would be nice to be able to move this button on the screen so it doesn't cover something, or show us where this button will show so that we don't write something in that space.

It would be nice in the co-teacher link if they had the student/teacher button on the top like the teacher. On the co-teacher link, if I am absent and my co-teacher is teaching in live mode, it shows student names and answers.

I am an Education Specialist. Many of my co-teachers are using nearpod on both student-paced and live mode and I can't see student responses if it is not on live mode. I was wondering if there were future plans for nearpod to expand co-teaching to student-paced mode as well.

Co-teachers cannot see a student list of who is attending and participating. This is a major issue and does not allow for the co-teacher to intervene in a virtual setting without having the lead teacher inform them of issues. This pretty much removes the necessity of a co-teacher and makes the co-teacher no more than a follow along with the ability to field questions about the current items. Also, the co-teacher should have the ability to change slides without affecting the live presentation. This would allow the co-teacher to help students individually. As it stands, the co-teacher is a spectator.

So I write to you kind people again in the hopes that you will hear me out. It was I who came begging on my knees to bring back the timer and you guys did it. I have never felt more heard by a company before. I pray we find a similar solution this time around. So in my 5th grade class I had a boy post a semi offensive GIF in our collaboration board activity. It has been a few weeks since I had last used Nearpod but I remembered being able to specifically turn off GIFs on the collab board. So I reach out to support and they show me where to do it, low and behold their screenshot shows them also turning off GIFs on the collab board as it is active. So support even has outdated information on the topic at this point. Well, come to find out, they have removed the incredibly convenient option to edit the collab board settings in real time. Now you must plan ahead, edit the lesson, navigate to the collab board, and change the settings before ever launching the lesson. Look, I am a teacher, I love to plan, but a product like Nearpod is normally one I will throw on, on the fly and as a supplement to my other lessons. This past time was during veterans day and I just wanted to give the kiddos a little more information about vets in general so I quickly launched the lesson and got them in towards the end of the day. Can we please consider re-adding the ability to edit student options on the collab board while the lesson is active? Also, just as a side note, in the history of history anyone who actively teaches KNOWS that GIFs are a preposterous addition as it is. They add nothing of educational value and just create problems for the less mature students. Why even allow GIFs? Anyways, that is my rant. If you agree give me an upvote and a positive comment so that we may be seen and heard once again. Godspeed nearpod family!

A great feature to add would be being able to pick a later start date for a student paced lesson. I have a school wide lesson on digital citizenship for Friday, and I wanted to get it posted today so that I don't have to worry about it on Friday. If I post it today, some will go ahead and work on it and then have nothing to do during that Advisory time. This would also be good for substitutes.

It is time consuming to manually type/offer feedback on student slides one at a time. It would be great if each teacher could create a database of feedback options that they could select for a slide. It would be even better is my teacher feedback DID NOT end up on their slide but to the side. Also, resubmissions need to be highlighted without the teacher having to look over 100's of slides so the teacher knows the student made updates. It would also be helpful to give feedback from the reporting option as well as the "teach" options. Thank you.
