We can also use plickers, where students are assigned their own individual QR code and they must rotate the QR code to answer the question. The teacher scans the QR code on their device and gives us immediate results on who is struggling.

The QR code allows for group assessment while also allowing students answers to remain secret as each QR code is different so other students won't be able to see if someone's answer is right or wrong.
