Socrative is a free student response system designed to engage students using their iPads. Try an "Exit Ticket" to capture student understanding in minutes and have the results emailed to yourself in an Excel report. "Exit Tickets" are predesigned and have loaded questions built into the App that quickly and efficiently collect student understanding.
Once you have mastered the "Exit Ticket", you can create your own custom Questions or Quiz Activities in the form of M/C, T/F or Short Answer.

Qrafter
A QR Code (Quick Response Code) encodes information
(URL, Location, Contact Card, Event, etc.) into a matrix barcode that can be
printed out or emailed to students.
Qrafter both creates and reads codes, making it a useful app for both
teachers and students. Teachers can differentiate their classroom by posting
print outs of QR Codes linked to websites, apps, map coordinates e
tc. to engage
students into a lesson or post codes in hallways to garner student curiosity
and excitement. Codes can also be created to invite students to extra help sessions,
dances, club meetings, athletic informational meetings etc. Students simply
scan the code using their iPad or Smartphone, where they can sync the date,
time and description directly into their iCal App.
