Have you ever been to a professional development event of been in a class where you do an activity that involves walking the room, reading statements on big pieces of paper, then voting on or evaluating those those statements by using stickers? It can be a great way to get kids up and moving around the classroom and interacting with their peers, for sure! But there can be limitations -- if you have a really big class and it's hard to move around comfortably, or you don't have enough stickers for kids, or you have some kids who are a little shy and don't want to do something quite so public. In those cases, you can use Dotstorming!
Dotstorming is the online version of the classroom walk-around and using stickers. Create a free account (allows you up to 5 dotstorming boards), share the link to your board with your students, let them post items (or YOU can post items), then let them "vote" by using dots!
Check out this nice tutorial for how to use Dotstorming and get some ideas for how to use it in your classroom:
Now give it a try yourself! What do YOU think of Dotstorming? Click here to vote!
