What is Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere is a versatile web and SMS text-messaging student response system that supports classroom engagement. During class, instructors display Poll Everywhere activities on-screen, and students can respond using their devices. The results appear live for class discussion or grading. Instructors use Poll Everywhere for taking attendance, giving quizzes, gauging lesson comprehension, and generally making learning more interactive and engaging for students.
