Poll Everywhere

What is Poll Everywhere?

The fastest way to create stylish real-time experiences for events using mobile devices.

Poll Everywhere replaces expensive proprietary audience response hardware with standard web technology. It's the easiest way to gather live responses in any venue: conferences, presentations, classrooms, radio, tv, print — anywhere. And because it works internationally with texting, web, or Twitter, its simplicity and flexibility are earning rave reviews.

How much does it cost?

Plans for small classrooms to giant stadiums  Poll Everywhere is free for audiences of 40 people or less and they offer paid plans for larger audiences. K-12 and Higher Education semester-long plans are also available.

Stixy

Stixy helps users organize their world on flexible, shareable web-based bulletin boards called Stixyboards. Users can add tasks, appointments, files, photos, notes, and bookmarks to their Stixyboards and organize them in whatever way makes sense to them. They can also share Stixyboards with friends, family, and colleagues.

How does the registration process work?
Simply provide an email address and choose a password. No further information is required. A welcome email is sent, but no activation is necessary. Users may begin to create Stixyboards immediately. Inviting others to the board is easily accomplished and an email invite is instantly sent to each person.
What does it cost to use the application?
Stixy is free and members can create as many Stixyboards as they want.
Who would you recommend the application to?
This application is aimed at the everyday user who is looking for a way to share information with others online. The bulletin board inspired look is designed to be user friendly and fun. The flexibility of sharing tasks, notes, pictures, and more makes this a useful tool for families and classrooms.
