In which situations has Mentimeter worked best in your teaching? – Instructors’ answers

“I use it weekly as an ice breaker, to collect feedback, and to run in-class quizzes.”
What student reactions do instructors notice?
-
“Students liked it.”
-
“Positive: they like it more than Kahoot :)”
-
“My impression is that they enjoy it, especially when I use the ‘extra’ features and include entertaining questions (for example choosing between GIFs or using Pin on Image – these are big favourites).”

“I can see that students also like to use it in their own presentations as a way to introduce interaction or kick-start discussion.”
