If your school has 1 to 1 student/device ratio, you need to know about these:
Peardeck.com
This is a type of presentation AND student response system all in one package. It integrates with google docs and google presentation to make an amazing experience that not only allows the presenter to inform, but also to get instant feedback and ask questions. Peardeck is a combination of the bullet-pointed standard of powerpoint mixed with the audience feedback of sites like socrative or infuselearning.
UPDATE: I just got word thorough the grapevine that this service may be pay-to-play after the beta is done testing. I hope this is just rumor!! With the other pay-to-plays out there teachers already have to fork over for sites like quizlet (if you want images), smartmusic, finale, and a dozen other web-based pay sites, it's going to break the bank to use this if it involves pay!
Kahoot
Students love this. Love it. Plug in your questions, and the students compete for points. Very similar in format to the type of trivia you see in bars or restaurants where the faster you answer, the more points you get. Very simple interface for both the teacher and students. Check it.
A means to share personal teaching experiences involving music and technology.
