Poll Everywhere Mobile Apps for iOS and Android

Poll Everywhere is used by presenters to ask the audience engaging questions. Instructors often use polls during class to take attendance, give quizzes, check for understanding, and increase active learning for students. When an instructor presents Poll Everywhere activities, launch the app and type in the instructor’s username: i.e. pollev.com/username. When the instructor activates an activity, you’ll be able to respond from the apps in real time.
