Poll Everywhere

This app is amazing. I love making my own presentations and quizzes. With all of the new types of pills and the new competition setting, it is super fun. For people who have played jackbox, it’s like that except there can be WAY more people and everything’s a little different. When I taught the lesson at church on Sunday, I used this and it turned out to be awesome. Everyone in my family likes it. Normal presentations can get pretty boring, but if you throw in a few polls and questions that people can answer on their phones, it makes the learning experience more interactive, fun, and effective.

Used in many of my classes. Easy way to track participation and the software is excellent. Surprise me how it’s free!

I love PollEverywhere! I use it to grade participation (1 point for doing and uploading the homework; one point for attending class; and one point for speaking in class). No more paper and I can work up everyone’s participation score in 1-2 hours for each half of the semester. Polls work great for exams and there is automatic grading for multiple choice questions. I show everyone’s answers anonymously by student ID and the correct answer. Live polling, at random and in PowerPoint, also gets everyone in the class involved, and it is fun to see live results change, such as how students rank the case studies we use. Anonymous polls are useful too. Highly recommended!
