__** About the Presenter/School: **__ My name is Lauren Harbath. I am currently an 8th grade Language Arts teacher at Revere Middle School. In the fall of 2016, Revere Middle School became a 1-1 school when we earned a grant allowing every student from seventh to twelfth grade to receive a MacBook provided by the school to use during school time and to take home. Each computer is distributed at the beginning of the year and collected back at the end of the year. This has benefited our classroom since we now use technology on a daily basis. Including the MacBooks, each classroom also has a desktop computer, each teacher is also provided with a MacBook, and a smart board/projector at the front of the room. I attended Akron as an undergraduate, and have been taking my masters courses since Spring 2017. I am currently taking 2 classes, which means I only have one more class and the portfolio before I earn my masters in the summer of 2018!

__** Lauren Harbath Website Video Walkthrough: **__ Poll Everywhere is an interactive polling website. Everything can be created free by the teachers and takes place in real time. Students respond to the teachers poll either through their computers or their cell phones. I have even had students text through their computers. The teacher can create various types of polls to check understanding at the beginning or the end of the lesson, have classroom conversations in an anonymous manner, students can ask questions without directly being called out during class, they can answer questions for homework, or even do anonymous quizzing.  In the video below, I show how to navigate the website as a presenter and the different ways the program can be used. 1. Go to the homepage. https://www.polleverywhere.com/ 2.) Create an account or log in (free version)  3.) Click on top right corner in the box that says, "My Polls"  4.) Click on create new poll  5.) Decide what poll you want: Multiple choice, open ended, survey, word cloud, Q&A, rank order, and other options. 6.) Click "done" 7.) When you open the poll click the expand screen button and it will make video live for students where they can respond by texting the code, or going online to the webpage.  media type="vimeo" key="255609225" height="351" width="640"

__** School Examples: **__

During my study hall, called RISE, I decided to play around with the program a bit more than I have in the past and my students helped me out! They were extremely interested in how everything works and were having a lot of fun with it. Honestly, it ended up getting a lot of conversations about school and classes going which I thought was very helpful! Some of the kids that are in my RISE, that I also have as a student in class asked me if we could do this during class because they thought it was so fun.
