All teachers should be using LanSchool to monitor and restrict what students are doing in class... there are other more appropriate times to shop for prom dresses, work on art, and look at pictures of their favorite stars.
But POLLING is a really great way to engage all of your students, and for you to use formative assessment. Simply use the VOTE button on LanSchool to send everyone a question, and you see the anonymous results as they are submitted. You can even prepare questions ahead of time and load on the fly so you are not typing them in while students wait.
Please ask Laura or David (or Jamie!) how to do this. Or give it a try in class, it's simple.
We have other ways to poll students, like PollEverywhere.com, but they take more time to setup. However PollEverywhere can be a web link that students access 24/7 for out-of-class polling.

I'd like to try this. Patty
