2014 here we come!
Many of us have used Socrative to assess student learning, both for formative assessment and quick questions on-the-fly in class. This tool does a similar job, but is a bit less formal but much less "clunky".
Geddit works like Socrative in that students can use any device (Laptop, iPad, Phone) using a web browser and use a code to get into your class session. The great thing is they can give feedback on how they are going with the lesson at any time and you get the results in real time - great for some students who may be to shy to put up their hand and ask for help.
You can send your pre-made questions directly to student devices whenever you are ready for them to answer them, or pause on key objectives to get students to indicate their current comfort levels with the materials. You can also ask questions on the fly if your lesson takes a new direction or you just want to create a quick poll to vote on student ideas.
It is free so check it out if this sounds good to you!
