After using Poll Everywhere I found it a bit cumbersome to input questions. There was no way to import questions from another source (word doc, ExamView, etc) to make it faster. This is a problem for me as I have many questions already typed and would like to option to input them directly without having to retype them. Also when using it, I was a the mercy of the speed of the internet. My districts infrastructure has not had a major update since 1999. There was lots of wait time and no real easy/quick way to move between questions. We as a class were moving much faster than the internet would allow us.
Some of the upsides we found were that the kids were WAY into it! They loved using their cell phones in school. They also found it easy to use since they were already familiar with the technology. They loved seeing the bar move and yelling out "THAT WAS ME!!!! I said 'NO' and it went up!!!". One upside I found was that Poll Everywhere gave the option to answer the poll through a website. This was essential for all students to feel involved as all students in my classes do not have cell phones and some have phones without unlimited texting.
Here are my questions
