You can easily prepare exams in advance or spontaneously quiz students during a
lesson and receive immediate responses from your class. Depending on the mode you
are using SMART Response assessment software, it supports several different types of
questions, including true or false, yes or no, multiple choice, multiple answer, text
answers, and numerical fractions and expressions. You can import questions from third-
party question banks, Microsoft applications and other commonly used software
programs.
After students submit their answers, you can instantly see the results by percentage in a
graphical format giving an accurate representation of the whole class's performance, not
just that of individual students.
Teacher Tools
Using Teacher Tools, you can access, view and manage all assessment data in one
location. You can create class lists and set up, conduct and manage tests and quizzes.
You can track each student's progress over several assessments and you can even tag
questions with key words to evaluate test results and student performance in greater
detail.
Teacher Tools make it easy for you to keep everything organized. The easy-to-use
management tool automatically files test results in the built-in gradebook. It also lets you
manage your class lists and view performance reports and test scores.
The Teacher Tools Gradebook gives you quick access to test results, making it easy to
prepare reports and conduct evaluations. Reports can be as simple or as detailed as you
need. Create high-level comparisons of class performance, specific reports based on
tagged characteristics such as demographics or curriculum standards, or personalized
reports on how individual students perform. You can also create reports that show
grades for the entire school year.
SMART Response hardware
The SMART Response receiver and clickers use radio frequency technology to provide
a reliable wireless connection between the student clickers and the central receiver. You
don't need a line of sight to the clickers, and the range is 100' (30 m). The receiver
verifies receipt of every signal and messages automatically re-send if they aren't
received.
Students will find the handheld clickers easy to use and comfortable to hold. Students
can easily read several lines of text on the large display screen. They can see if
