Let The Games Begin!

Have you heard about the new way of testing students with technology known as Audience Response Technology?

ART clicking is sweeping the nation as schools in NY, California and more are investing in this fun and competitive way of testing all students, and not just those who dominate in the classroom.

The clickers are part of an increasingly popular technology which has been used for everything from surveying game show audiences to polling registered voters.

They record data from individuals and transmit that information through wireless technology to a computer program that can instantly display results, tally them and present them in elaborate spreadsheets and eye-catching graphics like spaceships or “Jeopardy!”-style boards.

This technology can also track the percentage of correct answers received for each question as well as the participation rate among all users.

What a great idea!
