I obviously won't receive any responses until this next school year gets going, but setting up the poll was incredibly easy. The idea is certainly an awesome one. The bittersweet aspect of a tool like this, is to think about how awesome it would be if each student had their own chrome book or something like that. It is a huge undertaking to think about getting technology into the hands of every student in the district, but just think of the possibilities. With Poll Everywhere, I don't quite understand how the response feature works. How does Poll Everyhwere know what poll is being responded to when all responses go to PollEv.com? I think I understand the multiple choice options, because they are number coded, but what about the open ended responses?
For the last few years I have been using Google forms to organize the sign ups for the Science Olympiad team at Island Lake. Here is a link to the form that I used last year. They are really easy to set up, and are a great way to gather information from a group of people. It is great how all of the entries are organized into a spreadsheet. I am really excited to use it more this year since I believe I will be operating in more of a flipped classroom model. It will be nice to have their homework graded before they walk into the room!

The science olympiad form looks so official! So I'm not sure I understand how using the google forms will help you organize entries in a spreadsheet and then correct it ahead of time -- might need some lessons on that! Sounds good though!
ReplyDeleteSo many of these great ideas I've learned in this Web 2.0 class would be even greater if all of our students had the technology needed in their hands.
ReplyDeleteBoth tools look nice! Very official and hopefully helpful for you!
ReplyDeleteYou make such a great point of having the technology readily available and in the hands of all of our students!
