Our 6th Graders Are Clicking to Assess

Our students are getting to evaluate their math skills in a manner slightly different than what they are used to.  The students used the latest version of the CPS response pads (a.k.a. “clickers”) and accompanying software to show how much they know.  Our school currently has three sets that can be checked out from the library.

The clicker system allows students to respond quickly and see instant results.  Each student is given a clicker that is remotely connected to the teacher’s system. 
A question is displayed on the screen and students answer using the clicker system.  Within seconds they see the whole classes results which gives them instant confirmation and or correction.
