Some of the weaknesses of Nearpod are:

• Dependency on technology: need of a laptop in order to use Nearpod by students.
• Paid features: student-paced lessons, individual student reports, BBC videos, extra web content, and ready-to-teach Nearpod lessons for all grade levels are not available with the free version.
• Functionality: creating a slideshow from scratch using the Nearpod template is slow and difficult.
