Here is a sample poll: Rhonda's Reading Poll

Students can use their cell phones to text answers to questions, teachers can import data into spreadsheets, presentations, etc. Great way to incorporate technology that students ENJOY (i.e., THEIR PHONES). Free account for K-12 teachers with up to 40 students.
 * PROS:**

The only downside I see is that students will have their cell phones out in class, and there will be some who will be inappropriate.
 * CONS:**

Math: students can text their answers to math problems Science: students can text their hypotheses on an lab experiment, or it can be used as a real-time interactive science journal Social Studies: students can answer opinion questions re: current events Reading: students can engage in a technology-driven book club/book review
 * POSSIBLE CLASSROOM USES:**
