MENTIMETER
Mentimeter was designed as a way to create interaction between a presenter and the audience. The presenter or teacher first creates a question using different types such as multiple choice, image choice, who will win, scales, open-ended, 100 points, 2 x 2 scale, and word cloud. It will then create a slide of your question along with a link to Menti.com and a six-digit code. The students go to the site, enter in the code and then their answer. As they do, the data is updated on your slide for all to see. This can then lead to class discussions with all participating.
So let’s say you want to talk about copyright and plagiarism before students start their huge research project in your class. With Mentimeter, you can pose the question “What is the first word that comes to your mind when I say Plagiarism” and chose the word cloud. The words that are mentioned the most will appear larger than others creating a visual representation you can then discuss.
Mentimeter has a free and two subscription plans available. The free version provides unlimited audience size and presentations but the data may be used as inspiration or promotion by Mentimeter on their blog.
If you want more information, go to the Mentimeter site and watch the intro video.
