Poll Everywhere http://www.polleverywhere.com Create open-ended, multiple choice, or clickable image polls for free (paid upgrades available). Project the poll and students respond using their cell phones to text responses. See real-time results (requires an Internet connection). Great for warm-ups, introducing a new unit, evaluating prior knowledge, informal assessment, etc. Students feel comfortable participating, students have their ideas validated, and students are interested in the technology. Let’s see some examples!
