Polls Everywhere
Can cellphones actually be used to enhance school education? I think so. Sites like, www.polleverwhere.com, allow teachers to make their own polling on questions of their choice. Here's my poll: Lambert's Poll. If you want to say No, text '29598' to 99503, if Yes, text '29478' to 99503 also (this poll works only for states, but you can adjust setting for anywhere). If you don't care, no worries, just keep going. Schools can use this for aspects of business, history, english, chemistry, and many more. The questions don't even have to be "Yes/No" questions; it can be used for multiple choice as well. I believe that this polling system could be valuable, as many kids, who would have otherwise not participate in class, can partipate by texting annoynomously their answers to whatever question of the teacher's choosing. In this way, the teacher can address problems that deal according to the majority of voters. Currently, many school policies don't allow cellphones in class. At our school, cellphones are convisgated on sight. Leave a comment! Do you think this will be effective? Should we try to get this in our school systems?
