Fourth graders in Mrs. Allison Leto's class at Amite Elementary Magnet School have begun using the SMART Response system as an alternate means of assessment. The students are each given a hand-held device that is programed to the SMARTboard. The questions are presented on the SMARTboard and students enter their response on their device. This provides the students and teacher with immediate feedback as to which questions the students mastered and/or had difficulty with. Shown are students using the hand-held devices entering their answers on questions about the difference between common and proper nouns. It is a great 21st century technology tool to use in the classroom that renders 100% student engagement at all times. |
