Getting started with Top Hat (Students)
Top Hat enables you to participate in real-time during classroom activities. You can use your own smartphone, tablet, laptop or even SMS-based cell phones. Plus, you can submit answers via text message or over WiFi. Since it is a web-based platform, activities can be completed during and outside of class.
