Poll Everywhere is a super-easy tool to quickly polling students in your classroom. Most kids today have unlimited texting plans, so it is virtually a free tool to use. All you do is go to their site, create a new poll, and that's it. The kids then use their cell phones to send responses in, and within seconds their responses are on the screen. It literally is THAT easy! The video goes through the sign up process, which is optional. I usually use this as a way to start a class discussion, or to quickly poll for understanding. Make sure you have parent consent, as you do not want a kids racking up a huge bill on their parents. This is a GREAT tool!
