I really wanted to find out more information about student
response systems because I have never seen them used before and I feel like
they could be so useful in a classroom. I explored the systems available
through SMART and eInstruction. I liked how many different response systems are
available based on the needs of the class. I think the systems would increase
engagement of students and provide immediate feedback for the teacher. I can
see how these systems would make assessment easier for the teacher and the
students would benefit from the immediate feedback. When exploring Socrative I
thought it was a great idea! I would definitely use this in the classroom for
many reasons. I really like that it is free to use and students do not need a
login. It’s convenient that it will work on any device with an internet
connection and no additional technology is needed. The amount of activities
that are available is really nice. One feature that got my attention was how a
report is sent to the teachers email and opens in a spreadsheet. I think all of
these response systems would be great for the classroom.
