Wonder what your students are thinking?  Use Quiz Snack to create a short survey about an upcoming assignment to see if they need more time or ask how they liked the last project assignment.  You can also ask students to complete a poll in class to give you more information about what they know and where they are struggling.

Tablet Quiz

Tablet Quiz is a website which allows you to create a survey or quiz and then turn it into an app for an iOS or Android phone or tablet.  I found creating a quiz on Tablet Quiz very simple and you can even include images, audio and video in your questions.  In one quiz or survey you can have up to 20 multiple choice questions with four answers for each.  Currently the app runs on iOS but not Android although it is in the works.  You can also run it in browsers such as Safari and Chrome which will run apps.  When your app is completed you will receive an e-mail from Tablet Quiz with a download link and code.  You can then send that along to those taking the quiz or survey.
