Would you like all your students to participate during your classes? With Mentimeter, you can easily involve all your students. This way, you take the first steps towards creating a safe learning climate in which all students dare to participate. Mentimeter is a tool that most of us know by now, but usually only the simplest functions are used. But there are many more functions that make it much more fun to participate. During this session, you could experience these functions for yourself and learn how to use them.
