Poll Everywhere

Poll Everywhere is a classroom response system that allows students to respond to real time poll questions. There are four ways students can respond to a poll: sending a SMS text message, using a smartphone’s web browser, sending a “tweet” on Twitter, or on a computer via the web. The results of the poll are updated in real time via the web interface and can also be embedded into a slideshow presentation via the *PollEV Presenter App.

(*Note: In order to use the PollEV Presenter App in a Butler classroom, you must contact the IT Help Desk (helpdesk@butler.edu) and ask to have it installed on the computer in the classroom you are teaching in.)
