Thing # 14 Who's Your Polldaddy?

As WEb2.0 tools take over our lives, I've had the chance to use a few; wordle.net, writeboard, blabberize and polldaddy. I've had the most use out of Polldaddy, as I use it on my class media website weekly. You can find my latest poll at www.web.me.com/imaginebeingbetter The current use is for the lower elementary students to listen to our classroom spelling podcast stories and vote on the story they like best. We then take the results and use them in Math class to discuss converting fractions into decimals and percentages. The results can also be used to help students read and understand a pie chart.

My future plan is to use the polls and surveys for my thesis project. Gathering the demographics from various places around the country will help in understanding the educational differences that many states have in comparison to Texas.
