I just returned from an overview of the math curriculum at my daughter's elementary school. The teacher was using a smartphone app and cards from https://plickers.com/ to scan the parents for answers to multiple-choice questions. Basically everybody gets a card with a unique pattern on it (sort of like a QR code). Depending on which way you hold it up, the smartphone app scanning across the room reads A,B,C,D and tallies answers live on their website. It seemed pretty cool. You can use it both for anonymous polling or you can can grade students by tracking which unique card they have.
It seemed pretty cool and like it could integrate well into the Carpentry style of teaching. Has anybody used it? _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/listinfo/discuss
