Maximizing Classroom Engagement: Use Curipod for Exit Tickets

Exit tickets are a pivotal tool in the modern classroom, offering a quick snapshot of students' understanding at the end of a lesson. They not only provide immediate feedback but also help in tailoring future lessons to meet the needs of all learners. Today, we'll explore how Curipod, an innovative educational website, can transform the way you use exit tickets in your classroom.

  • What is Curipod?

Curipod is a versatile educational platform designed to enhance learning experiences through interactive tools and resources. It's particularly adept at creating exit tickets, which are brief assessments used at the end of a class to gauge student comprehension.

  • Make sure you sign up on Curipod
  • In this example I chose to create an Exit ticket with AI feedback and then created my own.
  • I pasted my prompt in the open question area.
  • You will see options to change the duration, entries per participant, vote duration, and results.
  • To share the screen make sure to choose present.
    • participants can join through typing in curi.live and typing in the pin
    • or choose the QR code
  • Participants will see their nickname and be prompted to type in their real name (which you can see at the end with the results).
