    3. Research shows… Active learning creates classroom excitement. “…to be actively involved, students must engage in such higher-order thinking tasks as analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Strategies promoting active learning involve students in doing things and thinking about what they are doing.” -Charles C. Bonwell and James A. Eison (Bonwell, 1991)

    4. An interactive class promotes learning. “The interactive process was designed to increase the students’ attentiveness, aid in individual knowledge discovery and increase retention of key learning points.” -Harold M. Horowitz, Ph.D.

    5. Qwizdom What is it? Qwizdom is a student response system composed of: 2-way infrared remotes A receiver A computer with a projector Software supporting curriculum

    6. How does it work?

    10. Games The system provides video games supporting curriculum lessons. Games can be modified to include teacher written materials.

    11. Advantages for Students 100% participation Engaging & Motivating Visual Instant feedback Less frustration Peer interaction Awareness of progress Fun with a purpose

    12. Advantages for Teachers Question variety Individual and Group Options Immediate feedback Data collected and graphed Printed reports and study guides Lessons can be tailored to needs Discussion is steered Authoring capabilities

    13. Curriculum Connections Health & Physical Education Science Social Studies Language Arts Math Primary Math Concepts (grades K-3) number sense, measurement, addition/subtraction, geometry and patterning, graphing, time and money, fractions, multiplication and division Intermediate Math Concepts (grades 4 and up)

    14. Standards Based Curriculum All Qwizdom courses are designed from educational standards used across many states. Teachers can create their own material and link it with standards. Each slide is linked to standards which can be easily viewed.
