TitanPad – This unique tool for collaborative work offers 8 colors to choose from so that each contributor may use a different color. The result is that group work, be it peer review or peer editing for starters, can be made interactive.
Tagxedo – A tag cloud generator that allows us to examine student consensus and facilitate dialogue.
Plickers – Allows teachers to collect real-time formative assessment data without the need for student devices. Perfect for the one-device classroom.
PollDaddy– Quick and easy way to create online polls, quizzes and questions. Students can use smartphones, tablets, and computers to provide their answers and information can be culled for reports.
Poll Everywhere – Teachers can create a feedback poll or ask questions. Students respond in various ways and teachers see the results in real-time. With open-ended questions we can capture data and spin up tag clouds to aggregate response. But Poll Everywhere has a limit to the number of users. Mentimeter (see below) does not which makes it a little more functional.
Mentimeter – Allows the use of mobile phones or tablets to vote on any question a teacher asks, increasing student engagement.

One strategy for promoting group work is ‘Snowballing’. Children discuss something or investigate an issue in pairs. Each pair joins another pair to form a group and discuss their findings. The small groups then join together to make a larger group, so we start with 2, then 4, then 8 and so on.
By involving pupils in a gradual build up towards full group collaboration and consensus, this activity encourages everyone, including pupils who are normally more reluctant to speak, to first of all come up with their own ideas, then share them with a partner and finally in a larger group.
This process ensures that everyone’s views are represented. For example:
On your own ... write down as many ideas/ways that you can think of to ...
As a pair ... compare your lists
As a four ... select what you consider to be the 2 most important ideas/ways to ...
As an eight ... agree and give a reason/reasons for your final choice ...
Using strategies such as ‘Snowballing’ are a good way to gradually introduce group work to pupils, including to challenging class groups or to pupils with limited experience of collaborative learning
