Polls, polls everywhere!

PollsEverywhere is a cool website that we got to play with a little bit last class period.  I've actually used this website before in a group presentation.  It worked out really well there, and I enjoyed learning more about that polling process.  I think it could be a cool way to check for students' understanding at the end of a math class in an anonymous way.  That way I could see how most of the students felt about the lesson for that day, and they wouldn't have to feel embarrassed if they didn't understand it so well.  I'm sure there are many more uses of pollseverywhere for class, but I think things can get a bit hairy when phones are involved in the classroom.  It's definitely something that will have to be worked out by each teacher on a class by class basis, but it's free (for the most part) and easy to use, so it's got a lot going for it!
