Go1 vs. Nearpod

Go1 has been very well suited to teams that have the scope to be able to take time away from their day-to-day work and focus on professional development. Everyone across our business is able to access Go1 and is required to complete the compliance training, but we are seeing a lower percentage of usage from our Customer Service teams as they are often unable to come away from their desk.

Nearpod works great in any classroom, but the presentation must be projected or each student must have access to a internet connected device.

The support staff for Nearpod is top-notch. I have not had technical issues, but I did have a concern about my bill and they reached out to me nearly immediately to address the problem. I was very satisfied with how they handled the interaction from beginning to end. They did a great job.

We looked at a number of providers, some who only hosted their own content, some who hosted a range. Go1 seemed to us to be the right fit due to their range of content and professional approach that catered to our individual considerations

The custom, integrated, online content, along with school libraries, makes this product superior to PearDeck. Nearpod exceeds PowerPoint because of the ease of use, the student paced lessons, and the ability to embed CFUs.
