Cell Phones in Education

Cell phones in eduaction? I have recently learned of an innovative way to use cell phones in education. I tried it out in my conference presentation at the Georgia Perimeter College and it was nothing short of amazing.

Go to http://www.polleverywhere.com/ and create a series of multiple choice or free response questions. Then display the questions and have students text their replies. The student replies are automatically updated to the polleverywhere site allowing you and your students to see the results instantaneously. It is amazing! And, its free. Cool!
