Engaging students at a distance and in the classroom can present challenges. Poll Everywhere provides a way to interact with your students with activities designed to ask questions, drive participation in group activities, and encourage students to share thoughts and insights from their phones or computers.
The workshop will use a blended flipped type of experience where the participants will first go into the Canvas course to view the course material that explains the procurement of a Poll Everywhere account, how to download and install the Poll Everywhere app to PowerPoint, and short videos introducing the Poll Everywhere software. After completing the Canvas portion, the participant will be granted access to the zoom link for the live Zoom session.

The Canvas based portion of the workshop needs to be completed in advance and will provide the following learning opportunities:
- Discovering how to get a FREE Poll Everywhere account with NSU
