Mentimeter is an online tool that teachers and students can use in the online classroom. It is a great tool to use during presentations to create an interactive piece. For example, the presenter can ask a question, have the class go to menti.com and type in the unique code. Once they've done that the class is free to write answers to the question anonymously. These anonymous answers appear on the screen for everyone to see. It is an excellent tool of getting students to participate, especially those who are shy since no one knows who wrote what. It gets students involved and collaborating together on answering a question. With mentimeter students can also create polls and quizzes. Polls are a great toll to use as well to see where the students are at. Quizzes can be used at the end of a presentation to help gage how much learning was done. As mentioned before, the best part is, it is all anonymous which is awesome for our shy students! Overall, mentimeter is a fun, interactive way to ask questions and engage the class.
