 * Student Response Systems**


 * I learned about student response systems (clickers) in this session. With how beneficial they are in the areas of student engagement as well as providing teachers with immediate data that can be used for instruction, I don't know how we've been able to teach without them! :)
 * Session Notes
 * In a study of student engagement, they studied 3 classrooms (with clickers, with yes/no response cards, hands up)
 * The group with clickers had the most engagement.
 * Every student has a voice on every question
 * Teacher doesn’t “send the question” until everyone finds the evidence (prove it).
 * MUCH faster response
 * Immediately support students in need of support
 * Math and Reading small groups would be effective and immediat
 * **Types of responses (Promethean Clickers)**
 * True/False/ Don’t know
 * Multiple Choice
 * Scale 1-5 (how much do you like, how well do you understand, etc.)
 * Can text in response- types of nouns, practice spelling words
 * Responses can be “pasted” onto the flip chart and manipulated. Ex: types of nouns- move to person, place, thing
 * You don’t need an active (SMART) whiteboard for this.
 * Wireless mouse and keyboard is fine.
 * Can import things from Word or Powerpoint
 * Express Poll- Create a question on demand
