In Rebekah Schipper's English 1 class students needed to review and identify different types of sentences - run on, fused, and comma splice. Poll Everywhere was used as a method for engaging the whole class.
In each poll students were given 3 different sentences to identify. They voted either using their laptop or cellphone. The results of the vote showed up live and projected on the screen for students to see.
It was an efficient way to review and get input from the whole class in the first few minutes of class. It also gave the teacher a sense of if students understood the material or if certain concepts needed to be reviewed. It was a seamless and transparent way to integrate technology into the classroom.

wow, this is a great idea. What i like a lot about it is that it allows students to venture an answer without fear of embarrassment if they're wrong. Plus they get to use cell phones--they will love that.
