Maggie's Chemistry Test

Here's an excerpt from my afternoon conversation with Maggie:

Maggie: ohmigosh
Me: what?
Maggie: i forgot to tell you
Maggie: about my quiz today
Me: oh?
Me: fail?
Maggie: nope
Me: good
Maggie: it wasnt a written quiz
Me: what?
Maggie: it was soooooooooooo incredibly cool
Me: oral?
Maggie: we used remotes
Me: WHAT?
Me: remote what?
Maggie: ok, get this
Maggie: she made something that looked like a powerpoint of all the questions she wanted on the quiz
Maggie: and each question had its own little page
Maggie: each student got these remotes that were blue, and it had buttons for the choices : a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h
Maggie: and on the front desk
Me: omgoodness
Maggie: there was this thing that looked like a spaceship
Me: lol
Maggie: and so when shes put a question on the board
Maggie: we'd have to click the letter of the answer we wanted
Maggie: but we pointed our remotes @ the spaceship thing
Maggie: and
Maggie: along the bottom of the screen were number, 1-17
Maggie: and each remote had a diff number
Maggie: and when someone put in their answers, the number of that remote turned blue
Maggie: not on the remote, but on the screen
Maggie: it was sooooo cool
Maggie: and then after each question, the teacher would hit enter on her lap top, and it showed us what the right answer was and how many people chose it
Me: was she able to grade you based on the spaceship?
Maggie: idk, but the program she had it on saved all of the things each remote put in
Me: wow how exciting
Maggie: yeah
Me: and technologically advanced
Maggie: it was soo cool
Me: i'm amazed
Maggie: yeah
Maggie: me too
Me: almost makes you want to have another test....
Maggie: shes like "has anyone used the remotes before for a test?"
Maggie: and im like... "remotes?"
Me: lmao
Maggie: and everyone was like "yeah, yupp, blah blah blah"
Maggie: and im like.... "wtf?"
