Using Wordle/Poll Everywhere in the Classroom

We used Poll Everywhere to ask people in the class something we wanted to know about them. The words that were used in the responses to the poll were used in Wordle to display our responses. We then posted it on our blog for everyone to see. In the class I could use Poll Everywhere to have students give me the second half of a reaction problem or I could have them make a Wordle for the periodic table of elements. In the article about Poll Everywhere it showed how it could be used for open ended questions and to make an on going poll that makes a bar graph to display which options are getting the most votes. These could be used to engage students in real-world issues such as a current event question which could be made as a free response or an on going poll.
