Site #4 - Flisti


Flisti is a website that allows you to quickly create poll questions that you can embed on a website or blog to allow students to answer them. They can also comment on the poll question, as well as see the results of the polls that they have taken. You can allow the students to select multiple answer or only one answer.

This site is extremely quick and easy to use and provides valuable feedback to both students and teachers. After students have taken a poll, a visually representation of the answers appears and could be used in the classroom to spark discussion. By commenting on the polls, students can collaboratively talk about the question being asked. As an educator, using these polls in a classroom setting will allow the teacher to check the understanding and comprehension of the students for a particular unit. I usually use Google Forms for a similar activity and am required to login to Google Docs and find the form to analyze the responses. However, this website allows the teacher to just go to the website where he or she posted the poll and click "view results" to see what the students are thinking.

Below is a quick poll that I created on the parts of a cell. Good luck!

What is the "brain" of a cell?
