Polleverywhere

This website is great! It goes straight along with chapter 2 in the book. This chapter is titled cell phones and is all about the usefulness of cell phones in the classroom. Polleverywhere is a way to use the technology of cell phones to receive answers. This is a free site for up to 30 users. Above 30, the fees go up in increments and can be a bit pricy, but for small groups it's very useful. There are many groups that use this website, some are "presenters, ad agencies, educators, faith-based organizations, non-profits, and more." All you do is simply go to the website, click on create your first poll, choose whether you want it to be multiple choice or open ended, create the question, and watch the answers come in! If I had a class that I knew would all have cell phones I think this would be a great way to get anonymous answers to share with the group when necessary. The home page is very informative and does a great job at making polleverywhere a desirable technology to be used.
