Ask the class a question, tap an answer for every hand that goes up, and watch the bar graph grow on the board. One screen, no accounts, and nothing is sent anywhere.

How to use it

  1. Type your question and two to six choices. Start a choice with an emoji to give it a picture.
  2. Ask the class to vote. Tap the big button for each hand, or let students come up and tap their own choice.
  3. Press Full screen to show the bar graph. Hide the results while voting if you do not want early votes to sway the class, then reveal them together.

Ideas for class

  • Predict before an experiment: will it sink, float or hover? Vote, test, and look at the graph again.
  • Book club: which character would you most like to meet? Compare the bars and talk about why.
  • Take a quick pulse check: got it, almost, not yet.
  • Use it for class decisions: which game for Friday, which read-aloud next.
  • Make it a math lesson: which choice has the most votes, how many more than the least, how many votes in all?
  • Vote twice, before and after a lesson, and compare.

Questions

Can students vote from their own devices?

Not on this page. It is a one-screen poll: someone taps for each vote. Peabody's live classroom host (a code the students type on their own devices) is a separate tool with its own rounds, and it stays tap-only so that no child types anything into it.

Are votes saved?

Only in this browser, so the poll is still there if you reload. Nothing is sent to us, and Clear votes empties it.

Can I change a vote?

Undo last vote takes back the most recent tap. Clear votes starts over.

Can I show the question and graph without the buttons?

Yes. Press Full screen and the buttons for editing and the choices tuck away; tap a bar's button before you go full screen to count votes first.
