Doodle

I found a great site that makes a teacher’s life much easier. It allows a teacher to ask their students questions electronically.

Doodle allows teachers see how far their students are when they are working on projects, give tests and quizzes, easily grade assessments, and see what information needs to be retaught. I think this is a fantastic tool. It's free and it's very easy to use.
The problem: To use the site participants need to have an e-mail address. This would be a fine tool to use for high students. However, middle school and elementary students may not have e-mail addresses. It seems weird to me to assign students to create an e-mail address. It's like teaching students how to text message. Spooky!
