Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere transforms one-sided presentations into two-way conversations with the audience. This web-based audience response system allows you to embed interactive activities directly into your presentation. The audience responds using any web device (laptops, mobile phones, tablets, etc.) or via SMS texting on their phones. The responses are collected and presented live while the poll is open.
