It’s no coincidence that we set the number of allowed responses at 32 responses per poll when we first launched our education plans at Poll Everywhere over one year ago. Why 32 responses? Because we read somewhere that was the average size of a classroom in the United States. Since then, we’ve learned that averages don’t count for much when a teacher wanted to try Poll Everywhere in a classroom with 35 students, but couldn’t because we only allowed 32 responses per poll.

Today that limitation ends with our classroom size promise. We started by increasing the classroom size limit on our K-12 free plan from 32 students to 40, but we didn’t just stop there. If your classroom has over 40 students, you can contact us, explain your situation, and we’ll accomodate you as best we can. We go into all the details in our FAQ.

Our goal is still to make a product that educators love so much that they eventually pay for our premium features, like the awesome new segmentation feature. While we can’t sustainably give everything away for free, we’re thrilled that classroom size is one less thing educators need to worry about when they’re evaluating Poll Everywhere as a classroom response system.
