In a personal challenge to prove that Poll Everywhere was more than a tech gimmick, Rabbi Tzvi Pittinsky has discovered a significant, daily use for the tool in his lessons.

The effectiveness of a lesson and instruction can quickly be measured through the use of Poll Everywhere. Read how Rabbi Tzvi Pittinsky incorporates Poll Everywhere with Exit Tickets into the conclusion of his lessons to gauge his students’ depth of understanding. By targeting an Exit Ticket question on the “big idea” of a lesson, teachers can monitor responses and modify lessons to create clarification if needed. Rabbi Pittinsky importantly notes that responses to Exit Tickets immediately are displayed using Poll Everywhere allowing a teacher to provide immediate feedback to students, as well as providing an excellent way to begin class with a previous day’s Exit Ticket responses.

Replace the pen and paper with cell phones and students get the timely feedback they need to reflect on their understanding.
