What is the tool? 

Mentimeter is an interactive polling app which promotes user engagement.  It is designed for use in educational and business settings.

What can it do for us? 

Mentimeter can be used to create presentations while simultaneously offer interactive real time experiences through audience polling, question and answers, word cloud, pin an image, scale and ranking. Some of the available options in this app are free (i.e. 50 participants/viewers per month, access to interactive polls and quizzes). Of course, monetary fees are needed for upgraded components (i.e. group editing of presentations, personal template creations, and unlimited monthly participants/viewers). The app does contain an AI tool which can be used to aid in developing ideas and generating presentations.

Here is a video which is a great visual learning tool describing how to create interactive presentations with Mentimeter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W79AXvYVjQs

So far my experience with this tool is from the presentee perspective. I did create a short presentation for the purposes of this assignment. I thought it would be fun to practice using the AI component. Here is what Mentimeter's AI tool created for my topic - How to Boil an Egg.
