An easy and quick polling option to get geographical discussion underway
Further to the Spatialworlds contestable geography posting on PollEverywhere,
here is another useful inter-active polling site for students to share
their views on geographical issues. The website is called Strawpoll (www.strawpoll.me) and is a great website that enables you to create short polls for students to complete. This then generates a
website that students can go to in order to answer the questions. Responses can
then be displayed on the interactive white board in real time in the form of a Pie Chart. Here is a
video showing how to use it,
showing the tool is not time consuming at
all and very easy to use. It is even easier that PollEverwhere but more
simplistic. A really impressive aspect of this site is that no software
is required and students can easily access the poll. A really good
option for the quick, on the spot poll in the classroom.
