Using Poll Everywhere for Student Feedback and Engagement

Some of the instructors in my Successful Teaching Online course asked about ways to get formative student feedback. One way that seems to work is through quick polls. Using www.Polleverywhere.com, teachers can create simple one-question polls that update in real-time. They are fun to use in class because students can vote anonymously using their cell phones, computers, or iPads and see the results immediately on the lectern projector. Poll Everywhere polls are used for surveying student opinion and preference, checking comprehension, and as stimulus for dialogue. Try it out.You can see the results populate instantly using this results link.
