Could you send or post information on using it for the online quiz? I would like them to individually respond and have the response unit track their answers - can this be done without manually typing in your questions and answers into a Notebook file?

They read the question, then the class responds using sign language for a, b, or c. The "Vannas" click on the answer the majority of the class picked and Moby tells them if they are right or wrong! I also use screen shots, or pause, of the videos on "Do Nows" and have the class explain the concept being shown.

Thanks so much for sharing your center system. The wipe off boards are a brilliant alternative, and I love assigning a student to be "poll control!" You might consider taking the quiz before watching the movie as a whole class as a quick pre-assessment. I found my kids were always eager to take the quiz again after watching the movie to try to beat their scores. That’s great, Trisha. Thanks so much for sharing your center system.

It is totally student centered. After watching the video the students take the quiz using their Activote remotes. If you don't have Activotes you can use wipe off boards and just have the students write their answer on the wipe off board.I have one student who is in control of the polling. After everyone has answered we go with majority rule. The person in charge of the computer puts in their answer. If it is a tie then the controller gets to break the tie. The kids love it!
