 THE CLASSROOM OF THE FUTURE 
The idea of creating this online educational game-based platform has come to Guido 
Kovalskys’s mind in 2012 as a result of a few problems in K
-12 education zone such as 
schools are risk-averse, strapped for cash, and slow adopters of technology [11]. Not 
only this but there was also the demand of engaging the school boys and girls into 
language and other classes, because they were better educated on smart devices and no 
more final grade counters. When he recognized these obstacles of schooling and came 
into edu-software-martket he was accompanied by Felipe Sommer and Emiliano 
Abramzon. Since then Nearpod has become one of the most visited web-based online 
platform. For further information, an online platform means an internet-based platform 
which provides different services to the users ranging from online interaction to finding 
educational recourses [12]. In the coming paragraphs, some of the functions and 
services which are offered by Nearpod.com 
–
educational platform are defined and their 
plus and minuses analyzed. 
Firstly, it has a simple presentation running option which enables instructors to conducts 
their lessons with featured slides. It can be considered to be a substitute to Google 
Slides (an online platform providing a feature to make slides) or Power Point. 
According to Jalolov, Makhamova and Ashurov integrating visual aids such as 
presentation of the topic assissts to imrove the quality of the language teaching lesson 
[13]. Additionally, it can be accepted as a plus side of Nearpod over the traditional 
offline power point programms 
with the function of doing ‘Drop and drag’ in which 
users can utilize their preexisting pdf or ppt(x) format documents and easily adopt them 
into slides. Secondly, instructors can share the resources easily by the platform itself. 
Students can be asked to save the presentation or images or other recourses which are 
presented by the instructor to their drive in order to use it later on. Next and one of the 
most foremost features of using Nearpod in EFL classes is teachers can conduct 
formative and summative assessments by creating many types of quizzes including 
Quizzes, Polls, Open-ended Questions, Matching Pairs and many others. Teachers can 
utilize these formats of testing either in classes or via online mode of teaching [14,105]. 
It should be mentioned here, one of the advantages of using internet-based tools as a 
formative or summative assessment is that students can have a very quick feedback on 
their performances which allows learners to improve their metacognitive thinking [15]. 
The next priority of Nearpod platform is that students can easily self-evaluate. In 
traditional language teaching classes it is done by several methods and techniques such 
as implementing traffic lights method. Shortly defining, traffic lights method in self-
