Poll Everywhere is a website that allows users to sign up for free to present questions for people to participate in anonymously! This website allows users to be open to answers and allows users to use their phone to respond to the prompt. This is great for using in the classroom because it allows students to participate and give answers without being nervous. Students will not know who sent each message but will be able to see what their classmates are saying. There are different options for polls as well, some can be multiple choice, clickable image, open ended, and Q&A. Depending on what results are desired, will depend on what option is chosen. Below are several screenshots from polls that I have created.
I created two Poll Everywhere for examples. I would use this in a classroom that has access to ipads, chromebooks, or any other form of technology. If I were teaching a higher grade like 5th or 6th grade, I would allow students to use their cell phones if they had one. This is a great way to take a poll and allow the class to watch the answers instantly. The only thing you need to be cautious of is setting rules with the class. Let the class know that there is to be no silly answers if there is a serious question being asked. It's all about the environment that is set up before and during use of this website.
