Poll Everywhere

Have you ever been incredibly frustrated when students have their cell phones out in class? Rather than constantly battling students about cell phones, why not use them as a learning resource. Classroom response systems can be expensive; with polleverywhere.com your students' cell phones are turned into a classroom response system. The free version allows users to write unlimited number of polls with up to 40 responses per poll. You can save the polls for use in multiple classes. The polls can be embed into PowerPoint slides, can be accessed on a link, or can be posted on blogs or websites like I have done below ☺.

So how can this be used in schools...  This resource can be used in a variety of ways since it can be set up to have multiple choice responses or free responses. It can be used for quizzes, check for understanding, to get students opinions, start a discussion, to get to know your students, attendance, or just for a little fun.

This video shows some great ways that poll everywhere can be used in the education field and basic instructions on how to get started.

If you have any other questions regarding the use of poll everywhere, the company has a you tube channel that is extremely helpful.
