How I Use It

I use Mentimeter in my teaching primarily as a set induction or formative assessment. Students can participate via computer or smartphone. As an English teacher, I find this particularly helpful while reading aloud passages in class (ex: reading/performing the play "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller) to check in with students during and after reading. When I share a link to our learning management system, students can quickly access the presentation via link. Since students cannot see the results on their screen, I ask them to close their Chromebooks after responding, which helps with classroom management. Mentimeter has a "freemium" business model, and I have only used the free features. These have been sufficient for ~50 minute periods. However, an appealing basic and pro feature is the ability for unlimited quizzes and questions per presentation. Educators are offered a discount for basic and pro upgrades.
