Unfortunately this week I was unable to post an article from twitter. For unknown reasons, my account was suspended. However, this week I have used a search engine to provide a wonderful tool in technology. If you have never heard of Poll Everywhere, it is definitely a tool worth checking out. This is an interactive tool that provides polls that allows audience members to provide immediate feedback. There are several ways that the feedback may be received, including a multiple choice format, an open-ended format, a word cloud, picture format, and others. The results can be projected so that everyone can view the results, kept privately, and even includes the choice of whether the names or displayed or not. While there is a paid version, the free version offers many options. There are many ways that teachers can utilize this tool in their classroom. I currently use this as an exit ticket that allows me to formally assess my students. I have also used this tool to have my keyboarding students submit their bell work. I use the open-ended question format and ask the students to type the assigned work.
