The old version of this app did an excellent job. You could take class quizzes with ease and the class data was easy to access. The new version stops you reviewing the class. You have to look at each question individually. Much less efficient. Shame the old version was very good.

Well, as a formative assessment tool, or to help me understand what learning has taken place, whilst keeping the confidence and integrity of the student, it's fantastic! Quick and highly effective...
I highly recommend spending the time to create clear confirmatory questions and slip this exercise into your lesson plan as an inclusion and differentiation element.
If you wanted to stretch and challenge - have some questions banked - it works well for ad hoc interaction either as groups or for an individual, pulling your lessons up Bloom's taxonomy to 'analysis'.

I've tried other apps and websites; this is the only one I've used for successive years. I use it at the start of most lessons as a quick test of knowledge. Sometimes it is checking the students have done the 'prep' homework, sometimes to revise some of the key facts or terminology from the previous lesson. Much quicker to set up than, say Socrative, and the reports are more useful. Highly recommended.
