Texting and Polling-Assessment Tool

I really enjoyed this activity. I think it is a good way to engage students. They can instantaneously see the response. It allows students to actively participate in the lecture. It also allows me to see what information I need to go back and re-teach. In an online forum, it would work much the same way. After students watch a lecture online they would take a poll and I would be able to see what information they understood and what gaps they had. This is a wonderful tool for asynchronous communication
