A very simple poll generating tool. Doodle helps finding suitable dates and times for group events, e.g., an appointment, a conference call, a family reunion, etc.
In addition to scheduling events, Doodle also supports polls in general. That is, groups can conveniently decide on options other than dates.
A great survey/polling site which is easy to use. Just type your question, add your multiple-choice answers and share the link. Great for making quizzes too. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/ICT+&+Web+Tools
Easy to use tool for creating flipped classroom lessons. Use the built-in search tool to find videos, images, or social media posts, put them into a timeline, add text and/or polls, and share. Free account has very limited media storage, but not an issue if you only use embedded media. Paid service has educator discount and is only $2.50/month.
"Polls, chat tools, and interactive quizzes provide good ways to hear from all of the students in a classroom." Another great list of resources for getting feedback from students by Richard Byrne.
uses a web browser - students tell the teacher anonymously whether they understand the material or are confused by it - the teacher gets a continuous graph during the lecture. All responses are anonymous.
Class voting systems can be expensive and take time to set up. This is a wonderful site that lets your students take part in a poll or vote using any internet enabled device, such as a mobile phone. Students log in by going to http://m.socrative.comhttp://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/ICT+&+Web+Tools

The poll for this list — The Best Web 2.0 Applications For Education — 2009 — is located below this post, and closes on February 1, 2010. Please vote for no more than ten of the thirty-two sites listed. Please note that I’ll be listing these sites in my post from my pick from number thirty-two and ending at first place, but the poll is listed in the opposite order.
Number twenty: PodOmatic is an
extraordinarily easy way to create a podcast. Sign-up and your class has your
own channel — all you need is a computer microphone. I’m adding it to The Best Sites
To Practice Speaking English. I’m also adding it to The
Best Places Where Students Can Create Online Learning/Teaching Objects For An
“Authentic Audience”.
PinDax is a new web tool that lets you
“pin” virtual “Post It” notes on a virtual bulletin board. It’s very, very
similar to a tool I like a lot called Wallwisher. It has a lot more “bells
and whistles” than Wallwisher. That additional complexity (and I have to
admit, it doesn’t seem that much more complex — it just seems to have a
lot more options) doesn’t necessarily make it more attractive for classroom use.
