INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR TONIGHT’S PRESENTATION
Before the Presentation
• Please switch your devices to vibrate or mute, but feel free to keep
them on.
• During the evening, we will interact using websites and apps,
specifically Socrative, Twitter and Today’sMeet. We have created
links and QR codes (the black and white squares)
to download specific apps. QR codes require a
QR reader. If you do not have one, go to either the
iTunes App Store or Google Play and search for Free QR Reader.
• To interact with the presentation, we are also
experimenting with Socrative and TodaysMeet.
com. Twitter handles are free.
• Socrative is an electronic quiz program. We will be using it in a
limited fashion tonight, but will be using it more during the future
“Boot Camps”. You may use either the website or the app. Our Socrative Room name is SecaucusPSD. Enter the Room
Number into the box and click Join Room.

On the next page, you’ll find links to Twitter’s and Socrative’s websites, as well as their QR codes.
