Poll Everywhere - http://polleverywhere.com
If you have been anywhere lately you have probably seen those little clicker devices that they try to entice you with when selling you an interactive whiteboard. They are great for student engagement, but a classroom pack will cost you around $3000. Poll Everywhere will allow you to do this concept with the use of cell phones and the internet. Now you are probably thinking, wait cellphones are not allowed in school. In most cases they are not, and that is why you can do it online as well. But think if you were doing a presentation to teachers and you pose a question, and everyone in the audience responds by using their cellphone and you have instant results. Well that is what Poll Everywhere can do. Remind participants if they do not have free texting on their phone they will be charged.
If you have your cellphone with you, you can vote via what you see on the screen, if not you will need to vote via the web.
You can even embed them in to your webpage, wiki, or blog.
