This is what we’ve been telling people all along. Stop paying for proprietary clicker devices and start using the technology that’s already available, standard, and ubiquitous. Poll Everywhere bases its philosophy on this principle and we think you (and your meeting attendees or your students or whomever) should too.

When you stop clicking via clickers, you’ll start texting/tweeting/submitting via Poll Everywhere.
