Engagement tools

Use the following engagement tools anytime during a quiz to boost participation. These tools are available from within the Join Class window, or from the Magic Box (if the Quiz Tool is not active).

Spinner

Randomly picks a student via a virtual spin wheel. This tool needs at least 2 students to spin. The tool presents the following options after a spin: 

• Spin again. Perform another spin to pick a new student. 
• Remove from draw. Removes the selected student name as an available option on the wheel.
• Refresh. Fetches the latest roster. This also adds back any student name removed from the wheel. 

Buzzer 

Starts a ‘buzzer’ race to determine which student can submit a response the fastest.

• After pressing Buzz/Start, a button appears on each student's device and students tap to respond. 
• The screen displays the name of the student who tapped the button first, based on the earliest recorded time in milliseconds.
• Tap Buzz again for a new round.

The Buzzer tool displays the name of the student who tapped the button first.
