Add a live poll to your presentation

Here's something fun to do.  Let your students use their phones (since they are doing it anyway) to add to what is being shared.  By using Poll Everywhere you can add a little spice.  They even provide a free plan, which is limited to a certain number, or you can pay for whatever use and size of group that you have.

The process is simple:

1. Create an account.  
2. Create your poll on their site.  
3. Download the PowerPoint page that they provide for you, and place it into your presentation. 
4. Show your presentation.
5. Instruct your students to text their vote to the number provided and give them the options to vote.
6. If your presentation computer is connected to the internet, the results will display automatically before their eyes, and in real time.  

Give it a try and let us know what you think in your comments.
