1 Using Student Response Systems Across Environments: See it in Action Patrick Artz – Bellevue University Daniel J. Gulchak – Arizona State University Margie L. Johnson – Metropolitan Nashville Public School

2 Today’s Agenda Audience Survey Benefits of “Clickers” Demo of Clickers in Higher Education Demo of Clickers in K-12 Questions, Answers, & Prizes!

3 I am ________ with SRS. 1)Not Familiar. 2)Familiar. 3)Very Familiar.

4 What is your primary focus? 1)Elementary Education Teacher 2)Secondary Education Teacher 3)Higher Education Instructor/Faculty 4)Technology Specialist/Instructor 5)Administrator 6)Classroom Support or IT

5 Why use clickers? The NET Gen - Today’s Students: At age 21 are defined by… 10,000 hours of video gaming 10,000 hours of video gaming 250,000 emails correspondences 250,000 emails correspondences 20,000 hours of TV watching 20,000 hours of TV watching 10,000 hours of cell phone conversations 10,000 hours of cell phone conversations 5,000 hours of reading 5,000 hours of reading Clickers in the classroom: Engaging the millennial learner Campus technology 2006 This is why SRS’s are a big “buzz” on campus today! SRS’ play to Net Gen’s need to be connected.

6 How many hours of email were reported by age 21? 1)20,000 2)150,000 3)200,000 4)250,000 5)500,000

7 What is the average attention span of today’s students? 1)They have none! 2)7 minutes 3)12 minutes 4)21 minutes 5)Unlimited?

8 80% of teaching is in the form of a lecture. Interaction is lacking in most lectures. In a fifty-minute class period, questions and other “interaction” comprise less than five minutes of class time. Only 19% of students ask a teacher for advice after class. Only one-third of all students will leave a lecture with most of the key lecture points recorded. SRS’s can help over come the following realities: Oblinger, D.G. (1995). Educational Alternatives Based on Communication, Collaboration and Computers. IBM Corporation

9 How much interaction time was reported as typical in a class period? 10 0 of 5 1)Less then 1 minute. 2)Less then 5 minutes. 3)Less then 5%. 4)Less then 18%.

10 Today’s Student Response Systems: Create a dynamic interactive classrooms. Confirm student misunderstandings. Track classes and student results. Combine instruction with assessment. Promoting interaction with all students. Interactive Classroom Technologies Redefined By SRS

11 Which of the following was not listed as a benefit of SRS? 1)Create a dynamic interactive classroom. 2)Confirm student understandings. 3)Track classes and student results. 4)Collect data that allows faculty to report findings on use of technology in the classroom.

12 Ask the Audience Pop Quiz Comprehension check Attendance Opinion polling Concept review Topics for discussion Priority ranking Typical Applications of a SRS During Class SRS’s are flexible - allowing Instructors to match Student Response System activities to their presentation content, learning objectives, and personal teaching style. VotingTesting Knowledge retention Discussion starters Consensus- building Anonymous feedback / evaluations

13 Meet Your Neighbor… Introduce yourself. Discuss one challenge you see with SRS in your classroom.

14 Demo #1 – Higher Education College class College class 40-50 undergraduate students 40-50 undergraduate students Turning Technologies, LLC Turning Technologies, LLC Class Use Review content Polling / Opinion Check understanding Team competitions Benefits Easy, intuitive, & quick Integrates into PowerPoint slides On the fly changes Great looking reports

15 23 Graphs and Reports Results easily export to Excel allowing you to combine results for entire semester or compare classes side-by-side.

16 Demo #2 – K - 12 Classrooms Grades 3-12 Classrooms Grades 3-12 Teacher Technology Training Teacher Technology Training eInstruction CPS eInstruction CPS Class Use Review content Polling / Opinion FastGrade Team Activities Benefits Easy, intuitive, & quick Integrates with PPT Team Activities Integrates with ExamView

17 CPS--24 Different Reports

18 Technology – Hardware Selection Many different brands, not compatible, & many don’t work in large classrooms! Is the device durable? Does the software support multiple types of input devices (IR, RF, Virtual)? Is the use of the input device a one time purchase or subscription model? How are the input devices registered to a student?

19 Do you want to try SRS after seeing this presentation? 10 0 of 5 1)Yes 2)No

20 Questions?
