Typical Classroom Scenario

• A teacher tells her students to raise their hand and tell her what 12 divided by 6 is

• Problems with this scenario– Only one person answers– Can’t know whether other students raising hands knew

answer– Some students too shy to answer; hard to assess them– Can’t tell if a student is too shy or just doesn’t know

answer


Teacher’s Pet Scenario

• Teacher and each student have iPad in classroom

• Teacher creates questions, inputs them into app via user-friendly template

• Teacher uses app to send question to each student’s iPad in the class

• Each student answers question using app, sends results to teacher instantly– Shows who got it right and who got it wrong
