Classroom Applications
- After teaching a topic or reading a text, teachers can use this app to monitor student understanding with the true/false, multiple-choice, or short-answer Quick Questions.
- Teachers can structure a set of true/false statements to indicate progress on completing tasks using the “Space Race” function. These tasks could include setting up for a lab activity or completing different in-class assignments. The group or individual’s responses to the questions can provide teachers with quick feedback regarding which groups need supplemental assistance.
- The “exit slip” function can be used to assess what students gained from class and what information needs to be retaught to students.
- Students can anonymously be polled on their opinions of a topic. They can also answer a free-response question and be polled on which response is most appropriate and why. Or, the poll function can be used to have students list questions that they have about a topic. Teachers can then draw from this data to guide their future instruction.
- Teachers use the “Quick Question” feature by first choosing a short-answer, multiple-choice, or true/false question and then asking students to respond via their mobile devices. Once all students have given a response, the answers can be discussed in groups to provide peer interaction.
