Freemium · $159/yrInteractive lesson platform for teachers with AI lesson creation
What is Nearpod?
Nearpod lets teachers deliver interactive lessons with polls, quizzes and activities, either live or at the student's own pace. Its AI Create tool generates lessons and multiple-choice questions to cut preparation time for K-12 educators.
Teachers can pull from a library of more than 22,000 standards-aligned lessons, videos and activities, or make their own material interactive. Reports and dashboards show where students are struggling so instruction can be adjusted during or after a session.
The AI features include AI Create for generating lessons and question sets, plus ready-to-teach AI literacy lessons developed with Common Sense Education. The question generator sits in the paid individual plans, and schools and districts buy through a quote.
