A Free flash online stopwatch, quick easy to use stopwatch! also an online countdown! - Allows you to monitor your student's presentation time.

One of the big aims of PBL is getting the students to look beyond the teacher and seek out their peers as providers of information. At the moment we ask the students to find information and then present this information in an interesting way back to their peers. The only issue is how can we see how much these peers have listened and absorbed? So I am looking for ways to test content knowledge (regardless of the content presented) in a quick, interactive or interesting way. What do you do in your classrooms? Or what would you like to do?

For example: play bingo with content terms - the catch is that rather than reading out the term, a definition is read out. If students have been listening to the presentation, they will be able to match the definition with the term on their bingo board and cross it off - first person to make a line (and be able to correctly match the definitions to the term) wins!
