ClassPoint

Pros: Lots of question types available including multiple-choice, fill in the blank, multiple selection, etc. I also really like the gamefication aspects such as the leaderboard points system for various levels. The templates provided are quite nice and inspirational!

Cons: There are a few technical components such as the system slowing down the presentation and sometimes it can kick users out of the session. Select many question type forces you to select ALL the correct responses to get the question right so if you want to ask a question like "what tools would you be interested learning more about?" A. Tool #1 B. Tool #2 C. Tool #3 and D. Tool #4 E. None of the above - If the correct answers are A,B,C,D and E is incorrect - you would need to select ALL A,B,C,D when really maybe you're only interested in the tools under A & B - but if you only select A & B, you would get the question wrong

Pros: I like that PowerPoint becomes more interactive with students and therefore more engaging. I like the word cloud feature and also the ability for students to download specific slides to their own laptops. I also like that students can have the slides right in front of them.

Cons: I would like to have had a few more features before you have to upgrade.

Pros: It is so easy to use and makes your PowerPoints so engaging.

Cons: Needs more features, don’t get me wrong it has a few great features but we always want more right?

Pros: Well certainly that the free version still has so many useful tools. How well integrated it is with PowerPoint, it's use is intuitive and there is a small learning curve.

Cons: I really can't think of anything that I dislike about the app.

Pros: I love the ability to use AI to prepare a range of questions from PPT slides questions at varying levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. This saves me SO MUCH TIME! Its a quick knowledge check for my students that gives me an idea of what they know, don't know or may need some clarification on to fully understand. Then I can go deeper in conversation and on the tests. I an also randomly select students to answer questions which is always a plus to make sure they are always on their toes and paying attention! And best yet...students love it and grades are strong!

Cons: So far I haven't figured out a way to create questions from a group of slides using the AI feature, which would be NEXT LEVEL awesome! I also would love to find a way for the students to access the questions after class to remind them of the questions we went over in class. I haven't figured that out either since I don't share my slides with them, I share a student version without the questions and a few other things missing so they have to pay attention and I can change things last minute, etc. If this feature exists I haven't found it yet ut need to do more exploring, I'm only a few weeks into it.

Pros: I like the variety of options to help my students learn and practice skills we are working on in class.

Cons: At first set up was a tad confusing when setting up classes, I also felt it was hard to go and erase the previous groups answered before my next class started with all the different transitions going on.

Pros: I love how it has helped bring more organization to our online training. The tutorials are helpful.

Cons: Learning how to navigate the taskbar to set everything up was a bit disorienting, but after some practice, it got easier with time!

Pros: Its interactive, user friendly very easy to navigate

Cons: I do not have any , it works really well for me

Pros: Class point made me do better in my classes it was amazing !

Cons: Class point doesn’t have a function for polls that are like multiple choice answers.

Pros: The random name selection option, specifically the cards instead of the wheel (to mix it up because I know another professor uses a wheel). The students like when I award them "stars."

Cons: Students have to join the virtual classroom each time. Slows things down in the classroom. Seems like I could create classes and if someone is absent (rare in our program), then just skip them that day.

Pros: ClassPoint has significantly transformed the college classroom experience by turning traditional lectures into engaging, interactive sessions. For the first time in years, teaching feels genuinely enjoyable, and student feedback has reached an all-time high. It's surprising that more educators aren't using this tool to enhance PowerPoint-based lectures.

Cons: I cannot use its' tools when creating a PowerPoint video. It also need to have much more connectivity to EDCafe.

Pros: That I could use the drawing features while in the presentation

Cons: That the quiz and annotations don’t clear when you close the program

Pros: The high level of engagement using PowerPoint with students. It’s easy for students to see how many points they have

Cons: I liked everything but I would like to see ClassPoint as a Google slides extension

Pros: Increased opportunity for more active student participation, including an anonymous option

Cons: Less frequent but still some occasional “crashing” of ppt

Pros: Uniqueness and ability to make the PowerPoints interactive.

Cons: You have to pay to use some of the features but everyone has to make some money right. The free features were so good that it does make you want to purchase the additions.

Pros: Classpoint is intuitive and is a great interactive tool for students and teachers.

Cons: The only negative I can find is that it does not work on Google Slides.

Pros: Moveable objects, colours, ability to keep the writings on the PowerPoint

Cons: App closing on your phone when opening a new window

Pros: This is a totally interactive teaching tool for presentations. It enables even the least confident student to take part and I can choose whether the responses are shown with names or without, depending on the question posed. I use Classpoint for virtually all presentations now and even the music is interesting as it enlivens the students

Cons: I am still learning some of the less used applications but as I play with it, I am coming up with more and more ways to use it.

Pros: Interactive elements. Instant feedback. Love that you can insert the student responses immediately after. The students also find it useful when taking notes as they can display it on their screen.

Cons: Only available on Windows. Some of my colleagues have Macs.

Pros: Built into PPT so no need to leave presentation. Easy for students to use

Cons: Signs out often and doesn't have ability for students to use moveable objects.

Pros: Add on to PowerPoint so I can share my resources and spruce up existing ones easily

Cons: Cost and as an Australian school teacher I paid for it myself as finance would t do a credit card payment nor a foreign currency bank deposit

Pros: Modernise easily our PowerPoint presentations

Cons: It makes PowerPoint (and my computer) run slowlier.
