Are you looking to make your classroom more dynamic and engaging? ClassQuestion<\/a> is a simple tool for conducting class polls and sending students questions. Imagine getting instant feedback that helps you understand what your students are thinking. Send replies from any device (laptop, tablet, phone). Results are instant, and accounts are entirely free. You can whip up quick exit tickets at the end of class to see what clicked with your students and shape your upcoming lessons around their needs. But that’s just the beginning! Use ClassQuestion to spark engaging debates by having students take positions on different topics and then team up to develop and defend their ideas together. One of the most remarkable features is how easily you can turn student input into visual data. Try polling your class and watch their responses transform into colorful graphs right before their eyes. It’s a fantastic way to make data collection fun and relevant to their lives. With ClassQuestion, every lesson becomes an opportunity for interactive learning that students look forward to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying the Triple E Framework <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Triple E Framework<\/a>, created by Dr. Liz Kolb, states that “effective technology integration begins with good instructional strategies and not fancy tools” (tripleeframework.com<\/a>). Dr. Kolb wrote a book, Learning First, Technology Second (ISTE, 2017), which lays out the three main uses of technology in education: to Engage<\/strong>, Enhance, <\/strong>or Extend <\/strong>learning goals. <\/em>We can use this framework to decipher why we use specific classroom tools. Here is a rubric<\/a> based on the Triple E Framework you can use to evaluate whether ClassQuestion (or any other technology) is a good fit with your learning goals and whether you should use it in your lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n
