I was researching different classroom response systems. I feel that these systems can help students to stay engaged, encourages students to participate, and visually learn. I found various different systems which can be installed and where students have to buy an applicator. I however liked a link I found, which talked about using cellphones, or computers to send in your response. The results show up in a powerpoint, and there is no extra cost to install this system into your classroom. I think these systems offer a wonderful opportunity for many shy or reluctant students to learn, but cost can sometimes be a huge issue. Most students have cellphones they carry around with them, so why not put them to good use! I think it is important to allow all students, wealthy and not so wealthy, with equal opportunity to learn. These systems allow students to learn from experience, because they are not afraid to give the answer they feel is right. Nobody knows who gives what answer so students are not reluctant giving there answers. So why not use this system when it is free or low cost for you and for your students! What a great opportunity, the students watch the results as they come in on a slide in a powerpoint presentation!
