www.PollEverywhere.com is a really fun service that will accommodate teachers for free.
Go ahead and make an account and have fun!
Voting is always anonymous since it’s the free version.
You create as many polls as you want. The students respond in your choice of ways:
Embed a cool voting widget on your class page
Send them a link via email
Put the link on your class page
Tell them to vote during non-school hours (different type of assignment) using either text messaging or with a smartphone/iPod touch.
You and your students can view a graph of responses as they come in!
You can do something like Beth Brewer did during her assembly… or you can ask students to gather data at home and report it… Or you can gather free response answers. All answers can be organized and downloaded.

I have used Poll Everywhere in my freshmen classes to find out their responses about assessment. Students enjoyed the fact that their responses were anonymous and that they could vote on various topics. I found it very easy and accessible to use and I hope to use it again in class- maybe as a pre or post reading activity.
