Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity

Poll everywhere is a tool that is used to have students interact with one another.Each student will set up a poll by typing a question; their peers will then respond to that poll. After every student responds to each others poll, the information that they have gathered can be viewed in a variety of ways.
Wordle is a tool that allows students to use words in a creative way. They can be creative and choose the font, color, and positions of the words.

One way that I could use wordle in my classroom is to have my students create their spelling list using this tool. If the words were associated with colors students may be able to memorize the word quicker and accurately.
Poll everywhere could be used as a way to answer word problems in class in math or literature. I could post a question and provide multiple chioce answers and allow students to respond.

By using poll everywhere students will collaborate with each other by sharing their ideas or thougts in a poll. They will also engage in the ideas of their peers by responding to their polls.

Students can be creative and inventive in designing their wordle.
