Experience with CPS 2004-2005 CPS purchased for the new Tuscarora Elementary School. Started using with 5th grade class that winter. 2005-2006 Used CPS as a tool in the computer lab with classes from Grades 1-5
My Experience with CPS 2006-2007 eInstruction become a weekly part of my classroom instruction. Students love using the pads and are actually excited when we take a test. Miss Petela, a Freshman from Mount Saint Mary’s College, uses CPS with the class as a math warm-up.
Response Pad Care & Use The CPS response pad is a tool, not a toy. Please do not bang on it, throw it, chew on it, or use it for a doorstop! Treat it with the same care and respect that would show to your own TV or DVD remote control. Be nice to your response pad, and your response pad will be nice to you.
Anatomy of the Response Pad • 8 Buttons, A-H • Pads need 2 AAA batteries (included) • Each pad is numbered and sends it’s own individual signal. • Infrared lights at top should be pointed at the blue receiver.
Anatomy of the USB Receiver • USB Connection plugs into computer (carefully) • Receiver needs to be positioned in a convenient location for students to orient towards.
