Quick Checks for Understanding
Here are a few options for quickly assessing your students comprehension of a concept. This is a question I often get so here are my best answers all gathered up for you.
Lumio from Smart tech has a huge portion of it that is designed to be used by students on individual devices and not on SMART boards.
Nearpod offers similar options. To collect responses from students and discuss responses with the class.
Peardeck is very similar to Nearpod. Of course Quick Prompts are not free… I have walk through video of everything that Peadeck can do, there are very usable and useful free options.
Socrative is another option. Which can do Multiple Choice, T/F, and Short Answer in it’s free teacher account.
Mentimeter is another one I have used to collaborate and create a parent night presentation with interactive polling. Mentimeter adds in a word cloud option!
Want to keep it very low effort on your part? How about a Google Classroom discussion question, a Google Form, a Google Jamboard (or what ever they call it now, Figjam?), also a Canva collaborative work space can provide a super simple space for students to share what they know.
