  148. exit tickets are used for end of the class discussions.
  149. Students will answer their exit ticket question in order to gauge a
  150. understanding of how much they were able to comprehend during the lesson.
  151. So let's check out the quiz feature.
  152. I'm going to click world facts, quiz
  153. here. It'll ask you your delivery method.
  154. It says instant feedback.
  155. Students answer questions in order and cannot change answers.
  156. Instant feedback is provided after each question,
  157. you monitor progress and a table of live results.
  158. Let's launch it
  159. quite naturally because this is a demo account.
  160. I do not have any students to join the class. So
  161. you would wait for your students to join underneath
  162. your account information or you can invite students here.
  163. That's all for now. Have fun.
  164. Let's check out the space race feature
  165. to demonstrate the feature space race. We're going to click on the rocket ship icon
  166. and in our previous video, we walked through the quiz feature.
  167. So we're going to stop that current activity and start a new one.
  168. I'm going to click the world's facts quiz again. This is a demo account.
  169. So I'm using the
  170. standard that they present my account with.
  171. You're able to choose your settings and step two.
  172. So here you can select your number of teams. Let's choose two. For the example,
  173. you can also choose to auto assign your teams,
  174. meaning you as the teacher will pick the teams or allow the students to choose.
  175. You can select an icon here
  176. for answers, show question feedback and show the final score.
  177. Let's hit start and see what happens
  178. and what up.
  179. This is your space race game.
  180. So as students answer their questions,
  181. the rocket ship icons here will move to show
  182. you which students are answering their questions faster,
  183. slower.
  184. It's a game to promote class cooperation in a little healthy competition.
  185. My recommendations for so creative are that so creative does
  186. not have direct features that accommodate special needs learners.
  187. So I believe that.
  188. So creative adding video tutorials,
  189. references to special education teachers and modified learning materials for
  190. inclusive education protocols will further enhance the online learning tool.
  191. Mhm
  192. Thank you for listening
  193. and take care.
