Start 2022 by learning to use a new digital tool to collaborate, communicate, to be creative and develop content.
Over the next five days we will be showcasing five digital tools.
Day One: Mentimeter
Mentimeter is an audience response tool, which has been used by many YSJ academics last year and is now available for all staff and students to use.
You can build interactive presentations with an easy-to-use online editor, directly from your browser.
Add questions, polls, quizzes, slides, images, gifs and more to your presentation to make them more engaging and fun.
Some examples of how to use Mentimeter are:
• Facilitating icebreaker activities especially at the beginning of term or with new classes
• Making it easier for students to share ideas and responses, particularly in larger classes
• Enabling regular formative assessment through questions types and quiz competition
• Collecting feedback on teaching and evaluate your own session
• Re-energising and engaging the room
• Collecting information on the prior knowledge of students
