For this tutorial, I learned how to create a presentation through mentimeter. I used this tool to assess how my students grasped the concept of a lesson. This way of using metimeter can provide me with feedback from students on how well they understood a concept, what I need to go over next lesson, and also allow students to reflect on how they participated within class.
I answered and voted on my own presentation to show how it would look if a student answered the questions for the teacher; this is shown below.
I have never used mentimeter before, but after completing the course and creating my own mentimeter, I was pleasantly surprised. I was unaware of how, as a teacher, you can use this tool to not only deliver content through presentation style but then assess students after. Not only do the assessment tools in mentimeter provide feedback for teachers, they also have the ability to make students reflect on their learning processes. In addition to teachers using a mentiometer as a post-assessment, they can also use a mentimeter for a pre-assessment to determine what students know before a lesson. I have also seen Twitter be used as a tool for creating class engagement by having students vote on how they are feeling today using images or emojis.
In the future, I will be using mentimeter at the beginning and ending of my classes for assessment purposes as well as engagement purposes. Mentimeter is a productive tool that teachers can use to increase student participation within their classes.
