For the teacher (on the projector laptop):

1. Open the tool and click Start a new poll.
2. Type your question. Add more questions if you like (multiple choice, word cloud, open text, or scale).
3. Click Show on big screen. A big 5-letter code and a QR code appear.
4. Students scan the QR with their phone camera, or type the 5-letter code at the same website on their phone.
5. As students answer, the screen updates live with bars or a word cloud.
6. Use Next → to move through the questions.

For the student (on their phone):

1. Either scan the QR code on the screen, or visit this same page and tap Join.
2. Type the 5 letters from the screen.
3. Tap, slide or type their answer.
4. Wait for the teacher to move on — the next question appears automatically.

Keep the teacher’s tab open. The poll runs from inside the teacher’s browser tab. If the tab is closed or the laptop is shut, the phones lose the connection. Reopen the tool, click Start a new poll again, and you’ll get a fresh code.

Polls auto-save while you build them. If you close the tab while editing, your questions come back next time you open the tool — just click the Continue editing link on the home page.

Works on the same Wi-Fi or different networks. Students can be on the school Wi-Fi or mobile data. Around 30–40 phones is comfortable; larger classes are fine but a little slower to connect.

Nothing is stored on a server. All the answers stay in the teacher’s browser. Once the tab closes, the answers are gone — so before you end the poll, click Save as PDF for a nicely formatted printable summary, or Save as spreadsheet for a CSV you can open in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets.

n Optional — save your polls to reuse them. Click Sign in with Google on the home screen to save a poll’s questions to your account and reload them on any device next time. This is just for you, the teacher — students still join with only a code, no sign-in, and the live answers still stay in your browser.
