2. What Is Poll Everywhere?
“On the surface, Poll Everywhere is a simple text message
voting application that works well for live audiences.
People vote by sending text messages (or using Twitter) to
options displayed on-screen. The poll that is embedded within
the presentation or web page will update in real time.
Advanced uses include texting comments to a presentation,
texting questions to a presenter, web voting, and SMS
interactivity in print, radio, and TV.”
