Today’s app: AnswerGarden
AnswerGarden is for anyone interested in using an easy and powerful way to get brief feedback from a group. AnswerGarden can be used in many ways e.g. as an icebreaker; to establish the knowledge level of a class on a certain topic; for student interaction and participation; for online brainstorming; and classroom feedback.

In this recording, Julie Porter-Stephens and Clare McGrath will outline how AnswerGarden can be a fun and interactive tool to increase engagement across several areas of teaching and learning.
