REEF Polling – Interactive Lecture App | NewsWatch Review

App Review

Remember when sitting in class doing nothing but listening to the professor was boring and made it difficult to focus? Keeping students engaged in class is vital in the world of education. One way to do that is to come up with unique ways to get students involved.

iclicker is a student response system where students can answer questions posed by the instructor on a screen in the style of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.”  They’ve taken it to the next step with REEF Polling by iclicker.  REEF Polling is the mobile version of this system where the student can answer right on their smartphone, tablet or laptop.  The instructor presents with anything and can instantly pose questions.  Then the image with the question is sent to the student’s device where they can answer it.  Answer history, including images and questions are stored and can be used as a study guide later on. After everyone has answered, the professor can pull up a bar graph distrusting the scores of the students so they can see how well they did in comparison to the majority of the class. This feature also measures comprehension for the instructor so that he or she can adjust the pace or content of the class accordingly. Another method in which instructors can utilize iclicker is for attendance. Especially if it is a big lecture the iclicker method is efficient and engaging. It is easy to set up taking less than two minutes and has access to data anytime and anywhere.

The instructor or presenter can download the software for free from the website and students can purchase REEF Polling online or in the app store. Pricing options start at $9.99 and go to $31.99 for four years. Head on over to reef-education.com to learn more.

  8. Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin

  9. I know this if off topic but I’m looking at starting my blog and was curious what all is needed to
    acquire setup? I’m assuming possessing a blog like yours would cost
    you a pretty penny? I’m not web savvy so I’m not 100%
    sure. Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    moment but I have book-marked it and also added in your RSS
    feeds, so when I have time I will be back to
    read much more, Please do keep up the awesome job.
