<p>Hi Jonathan. Every classroom in my building has a set. They are really convenient for quizzes/tests/exit tickets. You no longer have to grade by hand or run scantrons through the machine. I use them 2-3 times a week. When you export the students results, it shows you all of their answers in a nice spreadsheet, so you can easily identify ares where you may need to "reteach". They are really easy for the kids to use.</p>

<p>Hi Jon,</p>

<p>I have had a set of 32 Senteos/Smart Responses in my room for a few years now. When I first received them I was so pumped to use them every chance I could. I quickly began to realize how tedious and time consuming it was to create quizzes so eventually my set became a dust collector.

<p>Hi Jon,</p>

<p>I have had a set of 32 Senteos/Smart Responses in my room for a few years now. When I first received them I was so pumped to use them every chance I could. I quickly began to realize how tedious and time consuming it was to create quizzes so eventually my set became a dust collector. I would pull them out every now and then but I was very inconsistent and not really using them to their full potential. Then I went to a training on some topic or another (not related to Smart Response) and they used the Smart Responses to ask us questions using the "instant question generator." I had no idea that existed! I immediately got excited again to use them because of this feature and started using it the next day. It is so easy to use and beneficial in my teaching that I utilize it almost daily now. I especially love using it in math with the instant number generator. It provides quick feedback for differentiated instruction purposes. I also utilize the instant true and false often in my third grade class as well. All you need to do is have your class set up, have your students sign in and make sure the Smart Response is in your toolbar. Click on the "Instant" you'd like and have your kids answer. As soon as they submit their answer you will get immediate feedback.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions! </p>
<p></p>
<p>*One more thing, have you ever used the "Set all answers" feature when creating a quiz? If not, it is a simple way to create a quiz. Let me know if you need information on this feature!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Hi Jonathan,</p>
<p>I have always enjoyed turning the smartboard into a whole classroom game. I am capturing those games that work especially well on my blog at <a href="http://www.smartboardteamgames.com" target="_blank">http://www.smartboardteamgames.com</a>.</p>
<p>Hope you find it useful.</p>

I have no idea why my 4th graders can't use the clickers. About 7-8 did it right. I do not know what the others were doing. I gave them plenty of time. One problem is that they were not checking what letter they pushed by looking in the little window. I reminded them after each one. Step by step...putting the answers in. I may try again after our state test in April. I have the same problems with multiple choice tests this year. They just guess, except for the 7-8 that actually read the tests.…

I may try again after our state test in April. I have the same problems with multiple choice tests this year. They just guess, except for the 7-8 that actually read the tests. Major immaturity, I guess. I have never had this problem before. We just finished multiplcation of 3 digits by 2 digits. They knew how to do it on the practice test. I gave them the chapter test the next day, and all but the 7-8 kids bombed it. Every problem was done differentl and made no sense.. We analyzed the way they figured the problems to show where they went wrong. I don't know why the kids are doing what they are doing. Rushing? Not reading? Guessing? Retest on Monday!

I have had Clickers for two years. Last year I used them all year long. Quiz show format, tests, oral pop quizzes, etc. This year, my kids are too immature to use them. I have had horrible test scores with them. Then I started having kids write their answers on paper. Then we get out the clickers and enter the choices. Big discrepancy between paper answers and the answers put in the clickers. I don't know what the kids are doing to get it so wrong. It took twice as long to test and I couldn't…

Hey Jonathan,<br />
<br />
I have a set of clickers in my classroom that I absolutely love. I teach physics, so I can use it to check the students' homework in the beginning of class. I ask them to key in their answers to each one. I can instantly get a sense of how well the kids did.<br />

In class, I ask questions right after new topics to see how well they get it, and to see if I need to come up with an alternate explanations. I use them for review games at the beginning of periods, or on days before tests/quizzes to keep the kids engaged while going over the same old stuff.<br />
