Week #7 Group #4 Current_Event

Group Buddha decided on Poll Everywhere.
Poll Everywhere is a great, fast, and creative way to include real experiences using your mobile devices. It replaces the old pen and paper way of getting feedback by creating a poll that allows your students to answer through text messaging. It can help to enhance student's interests by allowing you to write up lessons plans involvoing your students results. It will also help to create a democratic classroom for other dicussions or projects in their future learning.
Poll everywhere is used by k-12 teachers, presenters, ad agencies, colleges, and many more. It's been used for the classroom and even outside of the classroom, allowing real life input. You can also vote on the webpage for any students that may not have access to a cell phone. This allows for an interactive and unconventional way of participating with your class. Poll Everywhere will keep their attention by using something that they probably do all the time anyway, texting.

Self Introduction

Hey everyone! My name is Michelle Mukaida. Mieko is my middle name. :)

My favorite technology gadget would have to be my iPhone4. It would have to be my favorite device because of its convenience. It's small enough to fit in my back pocket or purse and it has unlimited EVERYTHING. It is my connection to the world through the Internet, Texting, Emailing, Telephone Calls, and everything else in between.

I'm a very conscientious worker, also a quick learner, and I'm patient. I love working in groups, because I enjoy getting the feedback of fellow classmates and it's always very insightful. Note taking is what i do best! :)
