iRespond and BrainPOP: The Answer You’re Looking For!
Wednesday, December 21st
4:30 PM EDT
Duration: 1 Hour
Put technology right in your students’ hands and engage them on a new level. Our special guest Chris Haon – 3rd grade teacher at Murdock Elementary in Marietta, Georgia – shows you how to integrate the iRespond student response system with BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. quizzes. See how easy it is to use the two resources together – and even create your own quiz questions!
I really liked this Webinar and thought that this is a great way to have students respond to different activities. The Student Response Systems have always been a great tool for me as a teacher. This really helps when you are trying to see how well your students understand the material.
I love that you can get immediate feedback regarding student understanding. It lets me know whether to move on or explain the concept again.
I I have always loved the idea of the SRS (Student Response Systems) in the classroom! Having large class sizes hinders the ability to use these often, but I think the idea is fabulous! My district encourages the use of formative and summative assessment, so the use of the SRSs would be a good way to gage formatively what the students know. Maybe someone at my school could write a grant that would give each teacher a set of his/her own clickers.
This is a great option for assessing student learning.
I am not sure what our clickers are but I really would like to use them with brainpop jr. We were actaully talking about this in the staff room last week. How do I link them with your software?
@kristineblackwell we have a dedicated page that highlights best practice for using BrianPOP with your interactive white board right here on BrainPOP Educators. Take a look and see if it helps. http://www.brainpop.com/educators/interactive_whiteboard_resourcesv2/
As you will see on that page, BrainPOP integrates well with Promethian responders and clickers from Turning Technology. If you have Smart Senteo clickers (for SMARTboards), they don’t integrate as seamlessly, but you can still use them within smart notebook software.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Really enjoyed all of the possibilities! SRS’s seem like they’ll be great for formative assessments. I often improvise a lot in my room, so they could be really useful if a question or teachable moment comes up.
Anyone have ideas how SRS could be used in a writing-based classroom? There are multiple choice quizzes I could write, but I don’t think they’d be able to assess what I want to assess. Thoughts?
