Communicate. Learner Response Systems
In the ActivClassroom Questions are infinite Answers are immediate And every single voice counts. In any classroom, testing, collaboration and in-class conversation are vital to learning. But in the ActivClassroom, the typical questionand-answer format takes on a whole new dimension, with friendly Learner Response Systems that facilitate the day’s discussion and enable assessment for learning. With easy opportunity for prepared and spontaneous questioning, teacher-to-student communication can be both collective and personal. No matter what, here, everyone finds their voice. The use of Learner Response Systems encourages student inclusion by improving participation and confidence in children and helps decrease teacher time spent on preparation and testing. They offer educators an instant insight into the class’s grasp of the lesson in real time — and an immediate understanding of what should be covered (or reviewed) next. They chart student progress over time. But, most importantly, they afford every student the opportunity to confidently join the discussion — not just the child whose arm waves the wildest.
The ultimate collaboration and communication tool Students have amazing things on their minds, and very little of it fits the standard multiple choice format. ActivExpression turns question and answer into query, communicate and check comprehension.
