Gathering Data From Students

Edison students have been busy learning and are wrapping up the first quarter. One of the ways teachers can assess student learning is with Classroom Response Systems, or "clickers".

Each student is assigned a clicker that communicates back to the teacher computer wirelessly. A test is projected onto the SMARTBoard, the students make their choices, and their answers are recorded. The teacher is then able to analyze that data, adjust instruction if necessary, and provide data to administration.

The clickers are one more example of using technology to engage students in the learning process. Students have been gathering data throughout the quarter, and now they are excited to give data back to their teachers in a new and fun way!
