Annette (and everyone else), My Technology for Educator's blog can be found here: http://sfrantz.wordpress.com/
If you don't want to keep checking that site to see if there's something new, add it to your RSS feed reader. Don't know what an RSS feed reader is let alone why it's helpful, see this blog post: http://sfrantz.wordpress.com/2009/04/12/here-comes-the-news/ As for in-class voting, for something a little fancier than colored cards but just as cheap (for classes of 32 students or less), try PollEverywhere: http://www.polleverywhere.com/. Students use their cell phones (via text message) or laptops to vote. Create your questions at PollEverywhere and then copy the slide into your PowerPoint presentation. You'll need a live internet connection in your classroom for it to work, but the results are instantaneous. (This will be featured in an upcoming blog post.)

Can you please tell us again your blog url for the all the tech stuff you've been putting up? I am using my own in-class response system. It is called, colored cards with the letters A B C D glued to popsicle sticks. LOL. But it works great for less than $5 for the whole classroom.
