STUDENT RESPONSE CLICKERS!

ROBERT BOHACZYK

AMERICAN COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

WHAT ARE THEY?

• STUDENT RESPONSE CLICKERS WILL PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH VARIED FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS THAT ALIGN WITH CONTENT AND TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS AND USE RESULTING DATA TO INFORM LEARNING AND TEACHING BASED ON THE GIVEN STUDENT FEEDBACK.

WHY USE THEM?

• THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL OFFER STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASSESS THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF DIFFERENT TOPICS AND GET INSTANT FEEDBACK.

• STUDENTS WILL ASSUME AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THEIR OWN LEARNING THROUGH TECHNOLOGY WHICH WILL ENHANCE THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE CURRICULUM.

• THE STUDENTS WILL GET RESULTS INSTANTLY WHICH WILL HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL BEING TAUGHT THROUGHOUT THE CLASS

IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK

• TEACHERS CAN DO REAL-TIME ASSESSMENTS OF STUDENTS' COLLECTIVE AND INDIVIDUAL COMPREHENSION OF A LESSON, AND USE THAT INFORMATION TO ADJUST THE LESSON PLAN OR PROVIDE PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION.

• USUALLY THIS IS DONE WELL AFTER THE LESSON, WHICH IS LESS BENEFICIAL TO STUDENTS

USEFUL DATA

• CAN BE USED TO TRACK TENDENCIES OF STUDENTS TO GAUGE FUTURE CURRICULUM

• CAN BE SHARED AT DEPARTMENT MEETINGS AND USED FOR PROPER STUDENT PLACEMENT

BENEFITS FOR TEACHERS!

• A MORE ENGAGED CLASSROOM WILL LEAD TO EASIER CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

• YOU WILL BECOME BETTER TEACHERS

• EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT STUDENT GROWTH WILL BE EASILY MONITORED FOR FUTURE ADMINISTRATIVE EVALUATIONS
