For classrooms
You ask “any questions?” and the class stares back. Only the same three hands ever go up.
Every student answers from their phone - and you see who's keeping up, live.

PollsLive turns passive lectures into two-way sessions. Run a warm-up poll at the bell, drop a scored quiz before the test, or collect anonymous exit tickets — students join by QR from any phone, no accounts, no app store.
What you can run
Bell-ringer poll
Start class with a one-question check on yesterday's homework so everyone is thinking before you lecture.
Scored revision quiz
Run a timed quiz with a leaderboard before a test — students revise without realising they're revising.
Anonymous exit ticket
Ask 'What was unclear today?' on a 1–5 scale. Quiet students tell you honestly without raising a hand.
Vocabulary word cloud
Ask for one word that sums up the topic and watch a word cloud form on the projector.
