Mentimeter is an interactive presentation tool that helps users engage their audience through live polls, quizzes, word clouds, and other interactive features. Users create presentations on the Mentimeter platform and incorporate interactive elements such as multiple-choice questions, open-ended questions, quizzes, surveys, and brainstorming activities. Respondents access the presentation through a code and answer anonymously. Presenters can then project Mentimeter and see the results in real-time. Mentimeter offers both free and premium plans. Users can access Mentimeter without signing up for an account. However, presenters have to sign up to create and manage presentations and gather audience responses. Mentimeter was developed by a team of software developers and designers based in Stockholm, Sweden. Bewertung: Mentimeter is a valuable tool for the classroom since it allows teachers to gather information about their audience and feedback from their audience in real-time. It can serve the purpose of enhancing participation, assessing knowledge, and facilitating discussions. The fact that responses can be submitted anonymously allows teachers to, for instance, ask who has done their homework or understood the class content, while students can answer without fear of being exposed. Furthermore, the word wall option can also be useful to encourage shy students to share their opinions in brainstorming sessions, since questions can be answered at the same time publicly and anonymously. Asking for 3-word feedback from participants and displaying it instantly as a working cloud works well. Finally, Mentimeter could be an interesting tool to check students’ knowledge before a test, so that the teacher can identify where more input is needed and which content has been well understood. On the other hand, responder anonymity might encourage some students to pull pranks. Average IT skills required.
