About this session:

My presention will include the implementation of the Classroom Performance System (CPS Clickers). This system enables the creation of assessments that provide feedback to direct future differentiated instruction based on the strengths and needs of students. CPS facilitates feedback from every student and allows each student to participate simultaneously! Teachers in the Jackson School District use clickers on a regular basis during the school day and in after school enrichment programs.CPS allows every student to elicit a response without embarrassing anyone for giving an incorrect response. Twenty-first century learners engage in lessons that provide interactive technology.

At High Tech Hall, I’ll demonstrate several clicker lessons that have been successful in my school district.

I’ll also bring along a MOBI (Interwrite MOBI) which works like an interactive whiteboard. Teachers and students can use the Mobi’s electromagnetic pen to write, draw, insert images, highlight, interact with, and annotate over instruction content. I’m looking forward to sharing these tools with you at High Tech Hall.
