What you said… : 

What you said… “I used stoplight as an post-test activity. As soon as students handed in their tests, I had them go through and code each question. The next day, when tests were handed back, students were able to compare their stoplight material with the actual answers. It allowed for great feedback, and students were surprised in some cases to see how many responses they had coded as green were incorrect. I used this information to focus some re-teaching time the next day using a brain dump.”
