Polling

Earlier in this course we covered SRS (Student Response Systems) aka "clickers". I also mentioned students had the ability to use cell phones to text. While attending a few conferences this month a few of the presenters used Poll Everywhere http://www.polleverywhere.com it, collects data while interacting with your audience. Poll Everywhere replaces expensive proprietary audience response hardware with standard web technology. It's the easiest way to gather live responses in any venue: conferences, presentations, classrooms, radio, tv, print — anywhere. It can help you to raise money by letting people pledge via text messaging. Its simplicity and flexibility are earning rave reviews.

I added a link to my wiki with more information PD wiki. Notice, in addition to being able to use a cell phone you can also put the polling and results widget in a wiki or blog. Now, if I could only text faster!
