I am teaching a technology integration course right now for teachers (and will be again in the spring if you work in Fairfax County, VA). One of my students, George Coe, found this new site which is similar to PollEverywhere.com. Both all teachers to pre-make questions and have the students answer questions using their cell phones and computers. So using Socrative or Polleverywhere.com, if a student has an ipad or a laptop, but no smart phone, then they can still take the quizzes. These are a great way to start or end a class and they also allow the teacher to instantly (either company) see what percentage of students selected each other for immediate feedback for the teacher.
This is a webpage written by high school teachers for those who teach US and comparative government and want to find online content as well as technology that you can use in the classroom.

Polleverywhere also allows the use of a computer.
