Sending a Quick Poll After you have selected the Quick Poll question and entered the information and any options you want, you are ready to send the poll to your students. ` To send the Quick Poll question, click Start Poll . Clicking Start Poll immediately sends the poll to the students. You can stop a poll and restart it at any time. Each time you stop and restart a poll, a new document is created with the same name. When multiple documents are open, all document names are listed in tabs at the bottom of the work area. Only one document is active at a time, and only the active document is affected by commands from menus or tools. Using the Quick Poll menu After you start a Quick Poll, two menu options become available to you. These options are in the Tools menu. Use these options for the active Quick Poll session. Allow Document Access - Allows you to grant or deny students access to the Scratchpad and any documents on their handheld. The students may access a document, do some math, and copy the results back into the poll. Note: If a data collection sensor is attached to the computer or handheld during a Quick Poll that does not have Allow Document Access turned on, the Quick Poll is dismissed and the data collection console becomes active. Allow Resubmit - Allows the students to submit their responses several times. Stopping polls You can stop polls at any time. Your students do not need to do anything on their handhelds to stop the poll. When you stop a poll, the students can no longer submit answers. ` To stop a poll, click Stop Poll . Note: If you pause a class while a Quick Poll is running, the Quick Poll remains on the students' handhelds, but the students are not able to answer or submit the poll until you resume the class. 166 Polling students
