3 main strategies:
o Teachers can begin each class with a review of the previous
lesson’s content to check whether the students have absorbed the content of
that lesson. This could mean a short mini-quiz on the homework, instead of
collecting and grading it.
o Teachers can ask students to use their app halfway through
the lesson to check understanding and ask clarifying questions.
o Teachers can use ExitTicket to ask the class to check their
understanding at the end of the session.
