Simultaneous audience responses
The audience responds to your Poll Everywhere activities together, all at once. Hear from the entire room in the time it would take one person to stand and respond aloud. Results appear instantly for everyone to see.
You control how the audience responds, whether it's online at your personal Poll Everywhere response web page, or via SMS text messaging. Either way, the audience works from the privacy of devices they already own.
Jumpstart a lively discussion
An icebreaker is only as valuable as its responses. Help the audience open up with an alternative to speaking out that's not speaking in front of the room. Hear from everyone, not only the most vocal.
Poll Everywhere creates a shared space for conversation. Since everyone can see everyone else's responses, people realize they're not alone in how they feel. This puts people at ease, and encourages camaraderies.

Poll Everywhere has been essential for understanding the experience our audience is actually having, as opposed to imagining what experience they're having.
