Teacher creates a poll question or a series of questions. (Create an account to save them and work ahead.) Students respond via text or the web. On the web go to pollev.com. Results appear live on the screen.
 * PollEverywhere**

Opportunity for students/teachers to backchannel. Teacher creates a room and decides how long the room will stay open. When the room is named, part of the name becomes part of the URL. Using any browser, students visit the url, enter their names, then type in what they want to say and click SAY. This becomes part of an ongoing dialog.
 * Today'sMeet**
 * have a chat going during a debate, a film clip, a lecture - ask questions, collaborate, respond to each other.
