Exit Tickets
What is an Exit Ticket?
An exit ticket is a reflective task that the students need to complete at the end of the lesson.
Kahoot
Kahoot is a wonderful way to get instance feedback from your lesson. Set a short quiz of 4 or 5 questions that can be given to the students during the last 5-10 minutes of the lesson to check their learning and understanding of the lesson.
Go to Kohoot.it to play a Kahoot Quiz. This is the website you would give to your students. The students will be asked to enter a code.
To create a Kahoot Quiz go to the website Kahoot.com and then sign up for an account. You can sign up using Google account if you have one.
Google Forms
Google forms is a very easy way to get instant feedback of learning during the lesson.
They can provide reflective data from your students they can inform future lessons. They can provide a quick way to quiz your students on their learning. They can provide a focus for feedback.
Ideas with Google Forms
You can use a Google form for many aspects of learning. Here are few ideas:
- In one simple question ask the students what they have learned. You can request a minimum character count to ensure the students write a sufficient amount.
- In one question ask the student to list the vocabulary they have learned/used within the lesson.
- Give a short quiz and used the Quiz feature in Google Forms to mark it.
- Use it as a survey to find out what they thought of the lesson.
- Collect work that needs to be handed in.

Sending the Form to Students
The easiest way to send the form is by emailing the form to the students by clicking the Send button. However, since students at Kings House do not have emails, you will need to be more creative in getting the form to the students because the URL is too complex to copy.
Shortening the Link
Use bitly.com to shorten the link to a much easier URL and then show this on the white board for the students to copy.
QR Code
If you are using the iPads and the iPads have a QR scanner app, use www.qr-code-generator.com to create a QR code. Print it out and display it or project the QR code on white board for students to scan.
Use Edmodo
Post the link into Edmodo where the students can then log on to Edmodo and click the link.
