Exit ticket
The exit ticket widget lets you quickly see how your students felt about the lesson. Students answer using their own devices by scanning a QR code or entering a code—no accounts or logins needed.
Teachers use exit tickets at the end of a lesson to check understanding, gather feedback, or hear from every student. With faces, thumbs, or yes/no options, you get a fast, visual sense of the class’s mood or learning before students leave.
Ways teachers use it
- Check how confident students feel about a new math topic before they leave.
- Get a quick yes or no on whether students finished their reading assignment.
- Ask students to rate their understanding with faces after a science experiment.
- Use thumbs up/down to see if students are ready to move on to the next lesson.
- Gather feedback on group work or classroom activities before dismissal.
