Plickers is a great student response system for classrooms without 1:1.

How I Use It

I use plickers in my classroom to take quick assessments of student learning. Students hold cards with their answer, the teacher will scan the room with their phone. Using the app on the phone will the teacher will record responses. The app will collate the assignment and the instructor to explain what makes the question or wrong. Students have to hold cards up that match the answer they want. The teacher will scan answers with a phone/tablet which records each response. Then the teacher will know how all students are understanding.
