There are tons of great apps that I have used, but right now I'm crazy about "Socrative". Its basically a FREE student response system, but oh so much more. You can make polls, a premade quiz that is student or teacher paced or just display A,B,C,D and verbalize the question and answers. Its easy and free to create a teacher account at teacher.socrative.com. Once you are registered you receive a room number. Students use the app (android or IOS device) or just go to m.socrative.com in any devices browser. I have even have them use their cell phones! If you have IPads or Ipods available they work great! They put in your room number, which I keep posted on the wall, and see whatever activity you want them to see. You can see live results and when they finish a quiz it gives them the option to send the results to your email for later review. This is a great form of data collection for a formative assessment. I have also used it as a survey to determine how much the students enjoyed a certain activity. There are lots of options that you can get creative with. It even works on regular computers by using the same website. Its a great tool to determine if your kids are getting what you are teaching! And we all love something that works great AND is free at the same time, right?
