How could you use Classkick?

More beneficial for 1:1 classrooms,

I got excited when I was looking around the Classkick website for information and examples and came across a video for 1st grade. A lot of these assessment apps are more catered toward older kids and 1:1 classrooms, so seeing something catered to primary made me think this could be a great resource to give kids immediate feedback when practicing a math skill. However I saw that in the video every kid had their own device and the teacher was at her desk "collaborating" with the students across the room in real time. In that situation I think it would make more sense to simply have a small group of students at the teacher table in front of you. I suppose I could apply Classkick in a small group setting and allow students to be each other's teachers or assign a high-performing student to be the teacher and find the missteps in the other students' work. 

I could also create assignments for students to complete at the iPads after teacher table for independent practice before they go on Skoolbo or TeachMe.
