  4. 10 5 of 5 What is your primary focus? • Elementary Education Teacher • Secondary Education Teacher • Higher Education Instructor/Faculty • Technology Specialist/Instructor • Administrator • Classroom Support or IT

  5. Why use clickers?The NET Gen - Today’s Students: At age 21 are defined by… • 10,000 hours of video gaming • 250,000 emails correspondences • 20,000 hours of TV watching • 10,000 hours of cell phone conversations • 5,000 hours of reading This is why SRS’s are a big “buzz” on campus today! SRS’ play to Net Gen’s need to be connected. Clickers in the classroom: Engaging the millennial learner Campus technology 2006

  6. 10 5 of 5 How many hours of email were reported by age 21? • 20,000 • 150,000 • 200,000 • 250,000 • 500,000

  7. 10 5 of 5 What is the average attention span of today’s students? • They have none! • 7 minutes • 12 minutes • 21 minutes • Unlimited?

  8. 10 5 of 5 Which of the following was not listed as a benefit of SRS? • Create a dynamic interactive classroom. • Confirm student understandings. • Track classes and student results. • Collect data that allows faculty to report findings on use of technology in the classroom.

  9. Typical Applications of a SRS During Class • Ask the Audience • Pop Quiz • Comprehension check • Attendance • Opinion polling • Concept review • Topics for discussion • Priority ranking • Voting • Testing • Knowledge retention • Discussion starters • Consensus-building • Anonymous feedback / evaluations SRS’s are flexible - allowing Instructors to match Student Response System activities to their presentation content, learning objectives, and personal teaching style.

  10. Meet Your Neighbor… • Introduce yourself. • Discuss one challenge you see with SRS in your classroom.

  11. Demo #1 – Higher Education • College class • 40-50 undergraduate students • Turning Technologies, LLC • Class Use • Review content • Polling / Opinion • Check understanding • Team competitions • Benefits • Easy, intuitive, & quick • Integrates into PowerPoint slides • On the fly changes • Great looking reports

  12. 23 Graphs and Reports Results easily export to Excel allowing you to combine results for entire semester or compare classes side-by-side.

  13. Demo #2 – K - 12 • Classrooms Grades 3-12 • Teacher Technology Training • eInstruction CPS • Class Use • Review content • Polling / Opinion • FastGrade • Team Activities • Benefits • Easy, intuitive, & quick • Integrates with PPT • Team Activities • Integrates with ExamView

  14. CPS--24 Different Reports

  15.
