Stick Pick

Okay, so maybe you're not an iOS user. Maybe you're more of a Droid person, or simply just a Kindle person. Stick Pick has you covered. For $2.99 on iOS, Droid or Kindle, Stick Pick is like a Popsicle app on steroids. Like most similar apps, you add your students' names to the sticks and can select at random. However, Stick Pick goes a little further than that. It gives you options and examples of H.O.T. questions you can lead in with for reading comprehension (sorry math teachers! No mathematical lead in questions yet) You can set each individual student to Bloom's, Bloom's revised or ESL, or simply to just select the stick. If you choose to have the question lead in, you can mark that student as correct/incorrect, feedback from a 1-5.

I'll admit, it takes a bit more of a set up than the simpler apps, but the return is well worth it. Using the Bloom's or Bloom's revised section, you're able to record your feedback for later on when you have to input the information onto forms and other paperwork teachers are required to fill out. Great companion!
