Poll Everywhere

There are many things that make Poll Everywhere an excellent tool for educational purposes. It can be downloaded onto the Android platform, so it makes an excellent addition to any classroom or corporate event. Students can view the history of answers they've provided and how many of those answers were correct. Even if the responses don't need to be graded, it's an excellent way for a presenter to gauge the feeling of the crowd in a very specific way. This sort of engagement also helps keep the crowd attentive to the presentation. You can find out the general opinion with easy yes or no questions, or you create multiple choice questions for more detailed polling. Since the software is based on the web, the functionality can be placed directly into visual presentations. Members of the crowd can respond with an SMS text message, a private page for responses online, or the Android app. As more people answer the question, the results are presented in the presentation and updated in real time. Anyone that wants to be able to poll an audience while giving a presentation should use Poll Everywhere.

The app saves your responses over time if you use the app regularly, and it gives you stats about your performance over time.

The data can be compounded between all the total respondents across every session, or it can be keep separate and shown for each individual session. If you created the poll, you can view individual responses of members of the audience since they will come from registered accounts in the app. If you are a member of the audience, you can view the questions that have been asked, how you answered those questions, and the correct answer to those questions.
