Poll

Ask the class a question and show the votes on the board, as bars or as shares.

In your classroom

You ask the class to choose the day's game or the book to keep reading, and count raised hands with one click per vote.

The majority's choice shows right away, and everyone sees it.

You hide the result while the class votes, then reveal it.

No one is swayed by the other votes, and the surprise holds their attention.

At the end of a lesson, you poll the class on a notion.

You know whether to go back over it before moving on.

You leave the poll screen open for a while: students come up to vote at the end of a task or during a routine.

Everyone gives their opinion in turn, without raising their hand in front of the others.

QuestionThe question put to the class. For example, “Which animal hibernates?”.
ChoicesUp to ten. Each choice has a name and a colour, and a click on it adds a vote.
Chart typeHorizontal bars, vertical bars or pie.
BackgroundThe background colour shared by all widgets, under “Appearance”.

Each click counts one vote, with no limit.
“Start over” resets everything to zero, after confirmation.
Anyone who can see the board can vote, but only votes from an owner or contributor of the screen are kept for the board; the others last for the visit.
The poll counts the votes given on the screen shown, not those from several devices.
Changing a choice's name or colour keeps its votes.

ScoreboardA score for each team, raised or lowered with a click, on the board the whole class sees.
TasksThe list of what is left to do, in front of the whole class, ticked off as you go.
Random drawThe wheel spins, a name comes up: the whole class stays alert.
