  2. Basic Information • Student Response Systems can be used as a formative assessment. They can be either computer-based or web-based. The computer-based systems require every student to havea hand-held remote or clicker to answer questions posed by the teacher. With the web-based versions students can turn their mobile devices or computers into a clicker.

  3. Basic Information • A receiver connected to the teacher’s computer collects all of the answers from each student. Software loaded onto the computer compiles all of the answers and displays a graph showing the frequency of each answer.

  4. Basic Information • The cost of Student Response Systems ranges from about $700 to $2000 depending on how many clickers are needed and the type of clicker. • The less expensive clickers only allow for multiple choice or true false questions. The more expensive clickers allow students to respond to short-answer problems.

  5. Data produced • Once all students have responded to a question the software will display a graph showing the frequency of student responses. • Some software allows the teacher to compare data between classes or between demographics.

  6. How can data be used to drive instruction? • What makes student response systems so special is the instant feedback the data provides teachers. The teacher can see from the graph how many students got the question right or wrong. If many of the students got the question right, the teacher can move on confident that the students understand. If a number of the students get the question wrong the teacher knows more remediation is needed.

  7. How can data be used to drive instruction? • The ability to save and compare the data allows the teacher to adjust the lesson for the next class or year. By comparing demographics the teacher can eliminate questions that may not be right for certain classes.

  8. How can this data be used to differentiate? • The data can be used to differentiate by allowing the teacher to know exactly where everyone in the class is. Students can be assigned clickers so the teacher can see each students’ responses to all questions. The teacher can then have those student in need remediated.
