Students Give Nearpod High Marks on Personalization, Creativity, and Collaboration.

In his white paper, Measuring Student Engagement with Learning Technology, David Havens, a former analyst at NewSchools Venture Fund, offers a framework for understanding student engagement with learning technologies. He recommends that “a good technology tool for use in the classroom should include measurable elements of social motivation, creativity, personalization, educator engagement, and interactivity,” and calls on edtech companies to conduct student-report surveys as an initial step towards understanding how learners use and perceive their products. We used David Havens’ framework to design and administer a survey of approximately 2,100 students whose teachers use Nearpod in their classrooms. This new report shares and reflects on results of the student surveys.
