Would you like to get to know your audience and their opinions, more than just a mere presentation? Mentimeter is for you. While it's similar to Nearpod, it's less about delivering content and more about engaging your audience's thoughts. With a free account, you can only add two questions (voting, scales, word cloud, etc). and five quiz-style questions (open response and multiple choice).

*Remember to change how much time each student gets to take on responding, whether or not you'd like music playing, and if you'd like there to be a leader board
Step 3: Share and Present
