Mentimeter

Molto funzionale

Commenti: Promosso!

Aspetti positivi:

Permette di creare sondaggi/ presentazioni molto utili durante gli incontri a scuola

Aspetti negativi:

Non ho trovato difficoltà nell'utilizzo del software

Quiz, riepilogo e pausa. Tutti amano il momento Mentimeter

Aspetti positivi:

Lo uso per creare quiz intermedi durante le aule più lunghe o comunque alla fine. È uno strumento utile a fissare i concetti base coinvolgendo i partecipanti. Ho notato che rispetto ad altri soluzioni, ci vuole meno tempo da quando lo si introduce a quando tutti sono pronti a partire

Aspetti negativi:

Posso immaginare che la creazione di survey complesse richieda un po' più di tempo rispetto ad altre soluzioni più popolari

A smart tool that looks slick but has some frustrating limitations

Commenti: We like Mentimeter a lot. You can be up and running with it in minutes, and it takes literally seconds to create a typical wordcloud or other slide. It looks amazing to those answering the questions. There are downsides though and I hope future updates will add functionality and improve the experience for paying users.

Aspetti positivi:

Mentimeter allows you to easily (very easily) create and launch live, interactive polls, surveys and quizzes and create cool things like wordclouds in real time. It has a really smooth mobile integration through the use of QR codes which is a killer feature in the modern age. We have frequently had "wow moments" in meetings, workshops and training sessions using Mentimeter as people see animated quiz standing come in in real time and the like. Zero learning curve from the users point of view and almost frictionless.

Aspetti negativi:

It has a few limitations that make it less slick from the point of view of the person using it compared to the people answering the questions. It does not integrate well with Powerpoint. There is an outdated and never updated plug in which crashes all the time and thus unusable. The other option is to import your slides into Mentimeter and do the whole thing from there. This is not always advisable because animations are not preserved and the general look of the slides suffers. Without PPT integration, if you are running a remote session using Zoom or similar you are forcing people to navigate away from your window to use Mentimeter and then relying on them coming back to see the results come in in real time. It damages the experience tremendously. You get around this by showing QR codes and having them do it on their phones, but still, not ideal. Another issue is that moving or otherwise adjusting slide shows inside Mentimeter is a huge pain. Drag and drop to change the order of slides is basically broken, so me and my team always make sure everything is in order before importing (if we even use importing, see above). Even a no-integrated session with more than a few Mentimeter slides is a huge pain to adjust. Finally, although they claim that switching between say PPT and Mentimeter on the fly is easy, it inhibits you from easily and smoothly moving to the next question. Not ideal.

Mentimeter reduces barriers in the classroom

Commenti: Love it - it's a wonderful pedagogical tool that helps me to connect with all of my students.

Aspetti positivi:

I love that I can collect real-time responses from my students - quantitative and qualitative data. Allows my shy students to provide their voice in a non-threatening manner.

Aspetti negativi:

I have the free version only so I'm limited on what I can do.
