The document discusses using live feedback tools in the classroom. It introduces two free polling tools: Today's Meet and Cover It Live. Today's Meet allows users to create a room and share the link for audience participation but has limited features and control. Cover It Live can be embedded in a website and offers polling, comments, and extra features, but requires a website. The document provides pros and cons of each tool to help educators choose the best live feedback option for their classroom needs.

- #5: You can get feedback/responses NOT JUST THROUGH THE PHONE (because not everyone has a phone), but also by computer. You can download the powerpoint slide with the poll in it and put it in your powerpoint presentation.
- #6: This slide is for display to the audience to show them how they will vote on your polls in your presentation. You can remove this slide if you like or if the audience is already comfortable with texting and/or voting with Poll Everywhere. Sample Oral Instructions: Ladies and gentlemen , throughout today’s meeting we’re going to engage in some audience polling to find out what you’re thinking, what you’re up to and what you know. Now I’m going to ask for your opinion. We’re going to use your phones to do some audience voting just like on American Idol. So please take out your cell phones, but remember to leave them on silent. You can participate by sending a text message. This is a just standard rate text message, so it may be free for you, or up to twenty cents on some carriers if you do not have a text messaging plan. The service we are using is serious about privacy. I cannot see your phone numbers, and you’ll never receive follow-up text messages outside this presentation. There’s only one thing worse than email spam – and that’s text message spam because you have to pay to receive it!
