Classroom participation is a huge (and sometimes complicated) part of the learning experience. It takes courage to speak up, and nearly psychic abilities to know who understands the lesson. ActiVote offers teachers and students a clearer answer – a friendly Learner Response System that makes sure every voice counts.With A – F voting capability, a fun to hold shape and intuitive buttons, ActiVote makes 100% class participation fast, fun and easy. Students build confidence with every vote and can track their progress through both instant feedback and scores tallied over time. Teachers find that spontaneity enters the classroom with ActiVote – polling can be performed on the fly, debate can be started at the drop of a hat, and assessment guesswork ends. ActiVote can download student results into spreadsheets and lesson plans for clear achievement records over time, and no one worries whether they'll be called on and called out in front of the class.
How do you know how well the class is following a lesson?
Traditionally, you'd only find out some time later – when written or follow-up work was analysed. By which time students may well be unable to remember exactly what their thought processes were – and when they started getting left behind.
Now, from as little as 30cents per child per day, our unique ActiVote makes on-the-spot assessment very fast – and very easy.
It's a cuddly, wire-free, hand held personal response unit – designed specifically to work with our ActivBoard. We're the only company that produces both boards and response systems, though it's cleverly designed to be perfectly compatible with other boards, macs & pcs too.
Ask a question – either planned into your lesson, or spontaneously...
The students click their answer – from under their desk if they want. (Our product testers insisted on radio, not infra-red, technology, so students could keep their answers private from each other if they wished.) And teachers gain instant insight – on anything from class registration or who had breakfast to instant understanding of how well a lesson is understood... or even predictive grades. Votes can be recorded by individual student or by the whole class – all saveable to a flipchart or spread sheet. Letting teachers know who's clicked. Literally.
