The first time I see a MN State Fair Commercial always marks the beginning of the end of summer for me. And since August 1st, the commercials have been in full swing. Since I've had the MN State Fair on my mind (cheese curds, corn dogs, everything on a stick oh my!) I decided to create a state fair poll using Poll Everywhere. It was very easy and very fun. Since I will be teaching HP Math this year, I can see many different ways this activity would fit. I imagine using it as a teacher - creating one poll that kids can answer. And I imagine kids using it themselves to create polls and collect data from friends and family members. The possibilities are really endless and once again, I've discovered something that will be very useful in the upcoming year.
I love the state fair, but I'm not quite ready for summer to end yet! A poll like this would be a fun getting to know you activity for the start of school (I read A Fabulous Fair Alphabet by Debra Frasier to some grade levels as a way to talk about our summers). They could answer a poll like this and come up with their own questions to ask. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe kids will have fun answering the poll on the Smartboard! It might be fun to have a poll on the Smartboard during Meet Your Teacher Night!
