What do you like best about LessonUp?

The exceptional felxiblity. The provided tool kit allows me to employ a vast array of lesson designs -- and choose from how best to share them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LessonUp?

Video integration requires Youtube or Vimeo. This presents school firewall issues and inhibits the speed with which a teacher can provide original video content. Direct upload as offered with ClassDojo or Showbie. for example, would allow for faster teacher preparation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LessonUp:

The user experience remains the same from iOS to Android.

As opposed to an incomprehensible nesting of paid tiers, there are only two price points: Free and Pro. Advertising is also not aggressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LessonUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lesson Up does not require a proprietary app download or creating individual accounts. I share content that can be accessed anonymously or with privy-only-to-me nicknames/student IDs. The students and their families also do not have to worry about working around bugs and fixes that hamper many apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LessonUp?

Als docent aan ROC Nijmegen ben ik ontzettend enthousiast over LessonUp! Deze applicatie heeft mijn manier van lesgeven een boost gegeven. Het gebruikersgemak van LessonUp is geweldig. Het maken van lessen is een fluitje van een cent dankzij de intuïtieve interface en de vele ingebouwde tools. Of je nu video's, quizzen of interactieve opdrachten wilt toevoegen, alles is binnen handbereik en eenvoudig te gebruiken.

Wat LessonUp echt bijzonder maakt, is hoe het interactiviteit in de lessen stimuleert. De diverse tools makkelijk in gebruik. Mijn leerlingen zijn veel meer betrokken en actief tijdens de lessen.

Daarnaast biedt LessonUp toegang tot een enorme database van lessen die door andere gebruikers zijn gemaakt, inclusief collega's binnen ROC Nijmegen. Dit is een geweldige bron van inspiratie! Ik heb al meerdere keren lessen van anderen gebruikt en aangepast voor mijn eigen klassen, en ik merk dat mijn collega's hetzelfde doen.

Kortom, LessonUp is een fijne tool voor elke docent die op zoek is naar manieren om hun lessen interactiever en boeiender te maken. Ik kan het iedereen van harte aanbevelen! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LessonUp?

The help we received from Iris was first class; she really supported us in creating our channel and lessons, was always receptive to questions, and was lovely to work with. It's a really interactive platform that allows learners to engage deeply with the subjects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LessonUp?

So many functions - which is excellent, but it's hard to remember how each one works. It takes time and practice to create and use the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LessonUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is great to have the interactive elements that our in-person visitors experience, available online. This is especially good in the context of the pandemic with online learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LessonUp?

I was originally a Nearpod user, but I didn't like that students couldn't get instant feedback unless I was doing a live lesson. I don't like live mode where all the kids work at the same pace because some kids need extra time. I needed something that could be self paced and give instant feedback. I did a search for websites that were similar to Nearpod. I somehow found LessonUP. I did a trial and fell in love. Not only does it allow the students to work at their own pace but each slide gives them instant feedback. There are also so many options for each slide. Some options that I love are multiple choice, sequencing, mind mapping, imbedded videos, and more. I love to use mind mapping to create charts with their responses. I can pose a question and let them respond. Then I can choose all their best answers and put them on my chart. I can fill it out while they are working on the entire lesson. There is so much flexibility with LessonUp. If you want to use slides from previous lessons you can copy and paste them into other lessons.

During distance learning, I used it to teach all of my lessons. I could record my voice on each slide. You can see how much time students spend on each slide. You will know if they skip certain slides. Before and after distance learning, I used it to enhance my lessons. I can't imagine teaching without it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LessonUp?

So far there is nothing I dislike :) I love all of the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LessonUp?

LessonUp is a userfriendly platform to provide creative, innovative lessons for those who are not so tech savvy, as well as those of us who are comfortable with many different forms of technology. Students love it and it is easy for them to access all forms of the lessons; teachers love it for its ease and multi-faceted layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LessonUp?

There isn't much I have come across in regard to disliking LessonUp, other than uploading videos. Our school limits access to platforms such as YouTube, and when I try to upload a video I have to use security passwords to bypass the limited access. Another issue that I have come across, one that LessonUp may not be able to change, is the way it appears on different devices. I tell my students not to use phones to retrieve information, but some of them do this anyway and it is hard to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LessonUp:

You must try LessonUp! At different times, there is a free offer for a limited time. It will hook you in for sure! This teaching and learning platform allows for students to engage easily with motivation and holds them accountable for the work they are assigned. It is an easy, wonderful tool for teachers to post lessons and keep track of student progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LessonUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems I am solving with LessonUp include monitoring students progress, motivating students to engage in all projects, and getting fresh ideas from other teachers using LessonUp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LessonUp?

I would like to have the option about sharing the lessons with other ones that are not my students, to make my decision if I decided to share or not. I want to keep them private to myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LessonUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can use most of the tools that I need in one app, instead of jumping between different apps with students. They can get familiar with one app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LessonUp?

I've used LessonUp for a lecture I gave about search engine marketing. What I like best is that I can use it to keep the audience engaged during a lecture. I can use multiple multimedia elements in my decks: normal slides, but also videos and charts. To keep the audience focused I have the audience answer test questions on their laptops in the LessonUp app.

Also, the audience can always return to the lecture as it is publicly available in the LessonUp lessons library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LessonUp?

Because the platform is quite new, there isn't much content available in the US. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LessonUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can use this lecture in a hybrid fashion: I can use it in physically in class, but I can also give this presentation from home.

Next to that, I can use the test questions functionality to find out how much the audience know about a subject during the presentation, so I can move faster or slower accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LessonUp?

We want to make interactive, easy to use lessons. We know how to make a good lesson, but a teacher knows how to make 'That' lesson great by customizing it. LessonUp makes that possible for us. Through our channel we can get insights in usage and support in developing new lessons or complete lesson plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LessonUp?

We would love to bundle lesson plans which might be a possibility into the future;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LessonUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

Customizable content for every teacher and not a standard solution (as a book is)! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
