Nearpod Raises $21 Million To Further Virtual Reality Education
At Miami-Dade public schools, one of the largest English Language Learner (ELL) districts in the country, the company recently launched Nearpod for ELL to provide teachers with more than 500 lessons designed specifically for the fastest growing student demographic: non-native English speakers.
“Because we provide digital content they can edit, teachers can adjust their lessons to easily accommodate the diverse array of languages that are in their classrooms,” Kovalskys said.
Nearpod VR is compatible with any digital device – smartphone, tablet, laptop, chromebook, etc.
Nearpod employs a multi-tiered business model. The company offers free accounts to teachers that allow them to use the app, create polls, interactive quizzes, open-ended questions, slideshows, and more. There’s a gold account that offers teachers the ability to assign homework, receive detailed reports and integrate multimedia into the lessons they create for $10 per month.
