TurningPoint is a program that works with Microsoft PowerPoint. TP can turn your PP's into quizes, tests, surveys, or just general class interaction fun. Each student can have their own "Clicker" that they can use to answer questions shown on the presentation slide.
If you have TurningPoint installed, you'd probably know it. But just in case, here is the icon to look for on your desktop:

If you would like to try this out, your tech can install TurningPoint for you. But it is not the tech's decision to purchase the program for your school.
Yeah, these are pretty effective for getting the real feedback from your studens.
