SRS’ play to Net Gen’s need to be connected. Clickers in the classroom: Engaging the millennial learner Campus technology 2006
10 5 of 5 How many hours of email were reported by age 21? • 20,000 • 150,000 • 200,000 • 250,000 • 500,000
10 5 of 5 What is the average attention span of today’s students? • They have none! • 7 minutes • 12 minutes • 21 minutes • Unlimited?
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.
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.
Meet Your Neighbor… • Introduce yourself. • Discuss one challenge you see with SRS in your classroom.
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
23 Graphs and Reports Results easily export to Excel allowing you to combine results for entire semester or compare classes side-by-side.
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
Technology – Hardware Selection Many different brands, not compatible, & many don’t work in large classrooms! • Is the device durable? • Does the software support multiple types of input devices (IR, RF, Virtual)? • Is the use of the input device a one time purchase or subscription model? • How are the input devices registered to a student?
