Office 2013: PowerPoint and Office Apps
Poll Everywhere App
Polleverywhere.com is a web-based product that allows presenters to publish a poll for audience participation. Instead of using a student response systems, audience members may text their responses to the teacher given a specific poll number.
This tool has been used as a springboard for discussion or anticipatory set. It may also be used as a collective formative assessment that provides teachers and idea of what students know prior to moving on with a lesson. Teachers/presenters could create their poll, display the texting information, and view live results.
Through PowerPoint, the Poll Everywhere app may be embedded in a slide so that live poll results may be displayed during a presentation.
To begin, access the Office App Store within the Insert tab in PowerPoint
Search for Poll Everywhere (it's free!) and add it to the designated slide.
