I just looked at that and it looks pretty nice. The free K-12 version
is OK but for $50 per year for a teacher you can access many more
features. I find that a very reasonable price if you want to do
something like this.

Setup and accounts are free. You can purchase more tools from them, but the
free version is pretty cool. Just stress to the students that you don't want
them to use their text messaging on their phones unless they have an account
with unlimited text messages.

What software or service does this teacher use for this?

Our HS physics teacher has students use their cell phones to text
responses to questions he puts up on the board and the results are
tallied and displayed in near real-time for the class to see. I
believe he also has an interactive component that allows students to
post questions as well. He actually does have a Promethean board, but
just uses the projector for these activities.
I should point out that this is not a widespread activity (and
technically violates district policy). It is being done as a pilot
and on a limited basis. Plus, the teacher is a firm believer in
mixing up the technology so the students don't become bored or
complacent with it.

a projector and a dry erase board? Not a
Smartboard/Mimio/Starboard/Promethean/etc., just a plain old dry erase
board and projector.
I'm wanting to gather a few examples for a workshop that I'll be doing
with some staff.
