Okay...between teaching summer school, finishing my portfolio that is due in 3 weeks, and writing papers for Action Research, this blog has taken a backseat. I need some time to myself to get all this done! I will return soon with some new information for you, but for now, time for a break!

Poll Everywhere is a polling website that can be used for many different instances. This is a great alternative to clicker systems. Poll Everywhere is web based and has a free package that is great - unlimited polls with up to 40 votes per poll, live PowerPoint polls, web voting, Twitter voting, results you can download, and so much more! How does it work? You pose a question that can be open-ended OR multiple choice. Awesome, right? How do students chime in? They can use computer or mobile devices. Wait, I can see results in real time? Yep, you can see them live in a PowerPoint or on the web. Why Poll My Students?
After all is said and done, this is a great free Web 2.0 tool to use in any classroom. Remember, if students use their mobile device to text or use Internet, messaging and data rates apply. Make sure students are aware of this before they start using it in class! Check out the video I made to create distribution lists in Gmail. I found that some I had in GroupWise (mainly those that used people within our domain) transferred over. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask! |
