This week in class we created a Poll Everywhere account to poll out peers to get to know them a little better. This was a really fun and interesting activity. After our classmates answered, we then made a Wordle to show responses they posted. Again, this was very fun and creative.
I think an interesting activity to do with students would be to ask them to write down their goals for the course and create a Wordle with those words. Then at the end of the class, you could ask students to create another Wordle of the things they learned throughout the year and see how the two compare.

The ISTE NETS-T is all about promoting students to customize, design, create, and develop their ideas using technology. Poll Everywhere and Wordle are two very neat ways to do this. They are simple to understand and fun to play with.
Using these tools in the classroom would be fun and interactive for the students and get them more involved and excited about learning.

Kyliegh I agree on what you said and think you 100 percent right. I think students should use these two sites to interact with other students. ISTE should be forcing these two programs out there so these future kids can see it !
