Gerard Quinn

Live Engagement with Mentimeter

Mount Lourdes Grammar School

Mount Lourdes Grammar School is a girls’ grammar school in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh. It has over 700 pupils aged 11 to 18 years of age.

Gerard Quinn is the the Head of Geography and teaches Geography to A level. In his role as Senior Teacher he is also responsible for Learning and Teaching.

Gerard takes us through how he uses Mentimeter as an interactive tool to make learning more enjoyable. It engages pupils during a remote lesson and is also useful in normal classroom teaching for recap and feedback on progress.



Key learning

  • Mentimeter engages pupils in short snaps throughout a lesson – both online and in class

  • The questions and answers provide the basis for discussion and higher level thinking skills

Points to consider:

  • Quality versus quantity – ask fewer provocative questions as opposed to multiple lower levels questions
