Interactive tool that's nearly perfect

Pros

I'm a huge fan of the interactive near pods especially with the virtual reality features. They really make things fun and engaging for the students.

Cons

The storage space gets limited if you're not a member, which makes it hard to keep all my lessons saved.

engaging and Interactive Experience

Pros

I can easily customize lessons for each student because there are so many tools for individualization. The data collection features are very helpful for tracking student progress and I really love how students can work independently but also collaborate with each other.

Cons

Their interface is really confusing and I'm still struggling to figure out how some features work especially when trying to integrate with Google Slides and it's not easy at all.

manages lesson prep efficiently

Pros

This tool saves me so much prep time because there are pre-made lessons that align with the standards. I can easily tweak them to meet my students' needs. The virtual field trips and surveys keep everyone engaged and the collaborative boards and quizzes make the learning process really interactive.

Cons

When looking at plans, the free tier is super limited and you only get 100 MB of storage, and you can have up to 40 students per lesson. If you need more than that, you'll have to pay for one of the higher plans.
