Plickers is a great tool for quickly gathering feedback from students. Students hold up QR codes. Students hold up QR codes to respond to your prompts. You use your iOS or Android device to scan the students' cards and see their answers on your screen. This method allows you to have all students respond to your questions without their classmates knowing their answers because all they see are their classmates holding cards that look nearly identical. If you have used Plickers in the past you might want to check out some of the new features for teachers.

Thinglink offers a web platform and mobile app for creating and sharing interactive images. This allows teachers or students to add content inside any image - including photos, video and audio players, web links, polls, text and more - that appear in the image when shared and viewed.
