Day 8-Poll

(Aug 22)  Today we used a poll to elicit student responses about what the most interesting topic from CNN Student news. This activity served as both an introduction to Poll Everywhere, which will be used throughout the year, and as a way to determine which which types of text information students enjoyed. Students used their computers or cellphones to answer the poll.

Additionally, students responded to an exit card using Socrative. Socrative is a student response system that records responses of students to teacher-created questions. Today's exit card using Socrative was also an introduction to a new web tool that will be used for exit cards and quizzes as well as posting short student writing samples.
