This program allows teachers to instantly assess or poll their students’ knowledge base. “Are the understanding enough for an exam?” “what did they think about this particular part of the reading?” Countless options to use in the class. Simply print out the number of individualized Qr codes you need for your class size, and download the app to your smart phone.
