Kelli D
CCO
4.0

Kelli D.: My name is Kelli. I am a CCO at a small company, less than 10 people, but four folks right now, and my score for Mentimeter is a four. Before Mentimeter, I was using nothing to try and engage folks in presentations and that worked horribly because nobody was paying attention, especially when they were virtual. So the reason I chose Mentimeter is because I'd heard of it. Most people in education were using it when we first went virtual during the beginning of the pandemic so there was name recognition, but it was the fact that it was super easy that kept me using it. People don't have to download an app, which they're never going to do, it's just a click or a point to the QR code and very, very easy access to engaging in a number of different ways that you said. Getting started with Mentimeter is super easy. I just logged in, I think probably with my Gmail. It's very, very easy to set up. There were more options than I expected there to be but once I saw the different options I was able to figure it out pretty quickly. I would say that Mentimeter could possibly help you, especially if you do a lot of presentations where people are very apt to be doing something else with their phones, which if you're doing presentations they are. I would suggest using Mentimeter. Also, realize that you cannot control what people put in the cloud so if you're working, for example, with high schoolers just realize whatever they're going to type in is going to come up in front of them and you're going to have to deal with it.
