Students Using Nearpod on iPads

iPads are a great tool for formative assessments and getting student feedback. A quick dip into an app can get you a lot of information on where your students are succeeding or struggling. They can also be use for quick exit tickets. The following are some our our favorite tools for giving a quick assessment that can yield important data for you.
