Put away your cellphones? Not in Nick Audley’s classroom. Using a Web-based program called Poll Everywhere, Audley, a social studies teacher at Nashua High School South, has students in his class use their cellphones to text in their answers to problems. In seconds, their answers are tabulated and come up on the overhead screen at the front of the class. Depending on the lesson, students can also text in narrative answers to open-ended questions. “It becomes a running blog as we’re discussing a topic,” Audley said. The advantage for the students? They’re using technology they own and are comfortable with. The advantage for teachers? It gives them real-time results and it keeps the students engaged.
