Classroom+Response+Systems

Classroom response systems allow students to answer questions posed by the teacher. Students can answer anonymously, which will increase student participation. You will get a quick assessment of the class's overall understanding, or see individual student responses (some systems). Students can answer individually or submit group answers. By sharing the class responses with the students, memorable and valuable discussions can be held.

Tips for Using Classroom Response Systems

 * Prepare your questions ahead of time to guide learning and understanding.
 * Have a clear purpose for using the response system.
 * Provide time for students to experiment with the tool before using it in a lesson.
