7. Poll Everywhere
I use this as an engagement tool in
my High School English classes. I
can have open ended questions
which gather info from the whole
class on a topic, or a question, or I
can use the multiple choice
function to ‘test’ student reading
comprehension. I find it engages
most kids in my room at a far better
response ratio than a question
posed orally to the class. It’s a great
tool for any classroom.
