ClassQuestion is an easy-to-use tool for getting feedback. Send questions and receive instant feedback with a plot of the results. Create a free account, then use the menu to locate how to create a new class. After making a class, follow the prompts to create a question by adding the number of answers and identifying the correct answer; choose none if conducting a poll or if only recording student participation. Save your question, then share it from your classroom folders. To respond, students create an account and access questions on their own devices using your classroom code. Your results are available in the Question Data section of the account dashboard.
tag(s): assessment (148), data (147), Formative Assessment (73), polls and surveys (48), questioning (35), quizzes (90)
In the Classroom
Use ClassQuestion to receive instant feedback for many different classroom purposes. For example, use this tool to create exit tickets to help determine students' understanding of content and guide further lessons. Use this tool as a debate and discussion starter by asking students to take a stance on a topic, then divide students into groups to develop their position further. Gamify learning by turning review sessions into opportunities for students or groups to earn points for correct responses. Input data collections from students to quickly create graphs; for example, create a poll of students' favorite foods and share the results with students.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
The Cs curriculum is an excellent approach to your subject matter all year. Start with this program and expand on what students have learned through all your units. You don't have to include all 3Cs with every unit. Have students work in pairs or small groups to create a podcast using Pinecast, reviewed here about something they want to know more about in your curriculum. Creating a podcast about something they want to know more about fosters inquiry. Working in small groups encourages communication, and through both, students should begin to feel courage about their research skills and interacting with others.
