Discuss enables teachers to prepare questions beforehand and share them with students in the class. Students type in their answers for instant feedback. The great aspect about this is that teachers can ask students to revise their answers if needed.

In addition to students being able to edit their answers they can also comment on each others answers, prompting a discussion over a proposed topic. All this is done anonymously for enabling students to comfortably share their thoughts.

You can also test other topics like sets with Discuss. Again the advantage of using this is the instant feedback as it allows the teacher to quickly identify the areas which the students struggle with the most and therefore more productively carry out the remainder of the lesson.
