Benefits for Australian Schools
-
Boost engagement – With interactive activities and student-driven tasks, there’s significantly more student voice and active participation.
-
Support every student – Instruction is inclusive: supports diverse learners, student-paced work, asynchronous access and modal flexibility.
-
Reduce teacher workload – Pre-built lessons, drag-and-drop uploads and AI-tools mean less time preparing and more time connecting.

Insightful teaching decisions – Instant feedback and clear dashboards mean teachers and leaders gain actionable insight across classes.

Adaptable across settings – Whether in-class, at home or hybrid, Nearpod supports multiple learning models without losing momentum.
Teachers used to feel they were never enough because they couldn’t get around to all 32 children. But now, teachers can access real-time insights to adapt their teaching, and the children can all access help and support as and when they need it.”
