I have been at the P20 Conference for educators in Twin Falls, Idaho for the past two days. It has been awesome connecting with other educators and gaining new tools and ideas for the upcoming school year. I thought I would share a few tools to involve and get feedback from an audience or your students during a presentation. I had heard of and used a couple two of these sites before, but the other two are new from the conference. Each tool has a similar purpose, but all are different. Try them out to see what works for you.
TodaysMeet
- Provides a link audience members can follow and can respond to a question. Everyone can see responses in real time.
Dotstorming
- Dotstorming is similar to TodaysMeet, but participants can vote on each other's responses.
Mentimeter
- Allows audience members to respond to a variety of question types. You can see results in a word cloud or a variety of charts.
Poll Everywhere
- Really simple to use. Ask students a question, collect responses, and see the data in real time.
