Poll Everywhere: Students can text answers from their phones

students can text answers from their phones to questions posed on a PowerPoint and it gives feedback in the form of a chart.  This can be used with an intro to a unit asking questions to start discussions, or as a review to test retention of the lesson.  (It is free with classes under 40) 
Thanks to Linda Barrett from the Health/PE Department for the link!

ExciteM enables classrooms to interact with their students too. It is the most powerful audience response system ever. Using their cloud based service, event planners can poll their live audiences via text polls and display results in real-time. Audiences can vote by Calling, Texting (SMS), Twitter, or Facebook. ExciteM can also be used to collect open-ended feedback such as suggestions, questions for Q&A, etc. It is much cheaper and much easier to setup than old ARS systems (known as Clickers).

Please let me know if this helps!

Thanks
