Stick Pick

 

 
During Appy Hour, we discovered an app called Stick Pick.  This app is simply a can of equity sticks on your mobile device.  The app allows you to track student responses, they types of questions asked, rate them with a critical thinking scale, as well as calculate their accuracy in responses.  The app costs $2.99 and is available in iTunes.

 

  

One teacher found another way to use this app.  She is using the app to review vocabulary.  Vocabulary and key terms are listed instead of student names.  Students pass the device and shake to pick a word.  The students then define, illustrate or act out the meaning of the word.
