An interactive way to assess students through ipads, iphones, androids and more!

This looks like a great tool to use in my classroom. It would be a quick way to assess students on a topic before moving on. This tool is clearly geared towards teachers. It can help them to quickly grade quizzes that are easy but tedious to correct such as true/false and multiple choice. I would like to play around with this a bit more and see if there are discussion opportunities with it. My students use Poll Everywhere to have discussions or answer polls, but the results are posted for everyone to see. I like that the tools grades the quizzes and posts the results to a spreadsheet format. That would be such an efficient way to grade. This is much more user friendly than other automatically graded quizzes like Flubaroo. Thanks for sharing!

A few teachers in my building use secretive and have shared it in professional development sessions. It looks very easy to use and seems like something students would be very easily engaged with. Great resource for teachers to use with students. It would be just as easy for students to design questions and present as a quiz or dipstick check for understanding after a presentation or some other in class assignment. My school uses Promethean boards so we have this same capability built into that technology with the Active Votes or Active Expressions. I can also see this being something you could do with the poll feature on Edmodo. I think there are more and more resources out there in this style. I agree with Kayla that this is MUCH easier to use than Flubaroo, even though that is a very useful tool as well.

Kenton - This looks like a powerful tool for teachers and students alike in productivity! I can see myself using this to stay organized with tasks that I need to complete and encouraging students to use it. I watched a video and it said you can share tasks with others. I think this would be helpful to be the teacher and share the "to do list" with the whole class. Can you tell if this is a possibility? I love the chrome extension so it is available at an easy click through my email and my main screen (we're a google and chromebook school, so it's nice to find things that work well with those. I also like the app features on other devices.
