Accessing Other Applications
If the teacher gives permission, the Quick Poll tool allows you to temporarily
exit the question to perform calculations or access other documents to
determine the answer to the question. For example, you can access the
Scratchpad to perform a calculation, or you can access the Lists & Spreadsheet
application and copy data from there to a List question type. In a List question,
you can link to variables from the Vernier DataQuest™ or Lists & Spreadsheet
applications.
To access other applications while in the Quick Poll screen:
1. Open a new document.
Handheld: Press c to open the Home screen.
2. Choose an application.
Handheld: To return to the Quick Poll without accessing any documents,
choose C:Quick Poll.
3. When you are finished, click the Quick Poll icon.
When you respond to a poll, your response is immediately sent to the teacher’s
computer and teachers can track student responses in real time.
Showing Your Work
The teacher may request you to show work for your response. If so, the
response area has sections for you to write your starting point, your steps, and
the final answer.
