For a long time now I have been looking for a tool that enables instant polling in the classroom or in the lecture room. I specifically wanted something that; doesn't require registration (especially from the people I'm polling), updates very quickly, works on any platform from computers to mobile devices. It looks like I have finally found what I've been looking for and best of all it's free. The tool that I have found is Mentimeter and it does all of the above. Via Nik Peachey

For me, technology is all about change. (I know that’s not really quite right when you consider the relative nature of technology and all of its definitions, but this is word association, not a Socratic Seminar.) And with that rate of change comes challenges for all users–challenges that range from those consumer-based to those ecological in nature.There is a downside to all this progress after all.

Technology is always chasing after science fiction. Star Trek communicators became the cell phones in our pockets, and the wireless in-ear headset Uhura wore eventually became the Bluetooth headset. And now the futuristic, gesture-driven computer interface portrayed in Minority Report is being tackled by today’s technology.
On Monday, Leap Motion introduced the Leap gesture-based computer interaction system. Similar to the Microsoft Kinect, the 3D motion-capturing device tracks an 8-cubic-foot area for movements, and recognizes the differences between fingers, thumbs and even pencils simultaneously.
