Technology Medley

West Salem teachers, I have great news! Our new set of Qwizdom remotes (clickers) has arrived. South Salem teachers have been using these for a few years now, and the other 2 elementary schools haves sets as well, so now we can share quizzes and other activities division wide.

On the student surveys, several students at South indicated that using Qwizdom was their favorite technology activity . South teachers, if you have not been using these, you’re missing out on a great opportunity to keep your students engaged in any subject review at any grade level. West teachers, we’ll have an inservice early in the year to introduce you to this new system.

With the division wide emphasis on assessment next year, these remotes will provide a quick and easy way for you to determine how well your students understand concepts in all subject areas. Most of the time, we use multiple choice questions, but you can design other questions types as well. Start thinking about how you might use these throughout the year with your students! If you’ll give me the questions, I’ll even set up the quizzes for you. (Oh yeah, I’ll need the answers too!)
