Poll Everwhere

Based on it's relevance to our curriculum and student interest, Poll Everywhere is a smashing success.

Most of the readers to this page already know how much interactivity and peer audiences matter to students. Many of us remember slogging through hand-made graphs when we were younger and the frustrations that our teachers expressed at incorrectly-reported rough data. By the time that students figured out that they were drawing their hash marks in the wrong region of their T Chart, it was too late to fix it becuase the period had already expired.

If your secure goal is teaching students how to interpret a graph, this free service can harness student interest and tie it to math and science. See how we used Poll Everywhere above along with a sample of our practice for an upcoming school-wide Sock Hop.
