Considerations:Methodological and TechnicalEncourage pair and group work where possible/relevant

Keep it relatively short (5 minutes or so)

Avoid abstract questions (‘What have you learnt?’)

Use results to inform future classes

Use the devices the students already have with them

Avoid sites with lengthy sign-up procedures

Make sure the tools can be easily adapted for different levels
