Just gave an impromptu “professional development” session on using a personal student response system in the classroom.  All things considered, it went well.

These little things are awesome.  They give you immediate feedback as to whether a student “gets it” or not.  They keep the kids focused on whatever question is up on the board.  They keep kids interested because they have a “toy” to play with in their hands.

I’ve used them for informal and formal assessments.

They can be used in any subject.  It doesn’t matter!  As long as a student can answer a question (T/F, Y/N, M/C, Numerical Response), they can use this system.

I hope these catch on in the school.
