(edit)POLL EVERYWHERE (polleverywhere.com) replaces physical voting hardware with a web page. It was made to easily gather live responses to a TV show but it may work also to gain feedback on a teaching presentation.
Teaching Approach. Poll(tool) tools can be used for quick assessment(ta) or questioning(ta) in and outside of the classroom. They can also be used to allow pupils to give feedback. Using online polls can be useful for assessment outside of class. Within the classroom it can sometimes be useful to allow voting if you have access to ICT to support online methods for: 1) capturing data; 2) many quick questions; 3) private feedback if it's a sensitive topic, or some pupils are reluctant to respond normally; 4) the ability to return to questions, either at a later date, or as discussion points to discuss the answers given.
