Classroom response systems click with students

 

In the classroom, a teacher projects a multiple-choice question and asks students to vote their answers with a remote transmitter. In a flash, software on the teacher’s computer calculates and displays the responses, giving immediate feedback on how many students are getting it… and how many are not.

Engage… then gauge

Understanding how well students grasp subject matter is critical to achieving learning success. With student response and assessment systems that work seamlessly with PolyVision interactive tools, you can instantly gauge student comprehension, retention and application of concepts.

 

Student response systems (also known as classroom response, personal response or student assessment systems) are revolutionizing teaching and learning. Gone are the days of long lectures, dull slides and tedious note taking. Instead, game show-like interactions are reinventing classroom dynamics.

Qwizdom’s handheld devices allow students to respond to questions and order and rate information. A help feature allows students to discreetly ask for help on concepts they don’t understand.

 

Paired with a PolyVision interactive whiteboard or panel, student response systems from Qwizdom^® allow teachers to improve learning by helping students:

• be more attentive
• participate publicly and privately
• collaborate in teams
• become prepared for standardized tests
• confirm understanding and ask questions

 

And helping teachers to:

• adapt lessons to learning needs
• balance student participation
• facilitate class discussion
• take attendance, grade quizzes, and track performance
• minimize administrative tasks
