About

Stop scribbling those cryptic ID numbers into your lessons. OnCourse gives teachers a fast and effective method for aligning online lesson plans to the most current standards. It's never been easier to create standards-based lesson plans and monitor progress throughout the school year. Custom Templates make lesson planning simple and consistent across schools or grade levels, with support for as many templates as needed. Plan Sharing connects teachers across professional learning communities (PLCs), grade levels and schools, allowing them to search for and swap online lesson plans. Administrator Review places all submitted digital lesson plans into a central inbox for supervisor evaluation and feedback. After review, lesson plans are automatically e-mailed back to teachers to make any necessary changes.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nearpod places the content on the student's screen, not just displaying on a shared board. I can add different interactive activities throughout my lessons and I get reports afterward that show student engagement and progress. I have been using this product since it first came out and prefer it over all other learning platforms.

Cons

  • It can be expensive for a private license, so it's best if you can get your school to purchase it. You cannot share Nearpod lessons on Google Drive with a private license; you can only share with a link through Nearpod. Obviously, I am pushing for my school to purchase it.
