day one youth summit (august 17, 2010)
DESCRIPTION

Electronic Keypads
• A fun and interesting way to anonymously take the pulse of the room.
Using the Keypads
• Just press the number that corresponds to your choice
• Do not press “go”• If you make a mistake, just do it again.• We don’t know which keypad you have, so this
is anonymous. You can be honest!
