Student Response System

The Student Response System is a way for the teachers to ask questions and get responses from students during daily lessons. The Student Response System is beneficial to the classroom because it allows shy students to share their answers without speaking out loud. I did not realize how many students might be afraid to speak in front of others, so this method would help them tremendously. Student Response Systems can also help students that “blurt out” by providing them a way to answer a question right away, but quietly. The Student Response System is beneficial to teachers because it provides a way for all students to answer. It also shows teachers which students participate and which ones do not. It also provides feedback immediately to the students to let them know if they got the questions right or wrong. Through this, students can see their strengths and also areas that they need to work on. It also shows their grades as they go. Students can also see that other students may get the same question wrong as they did. This might help the students to not be so hard on themselves realizing that not everyone got the question right. Students seem to find student response systems engaging so it is more likely to have a 100% participation rate when using these. Examples of the Student Response Systems where all students have a voice, would be apps such as Kahoot, Carousel Brainstorming, Corners, Jigsaw, Popsicle Stick, and Clickers. Student response systems supposedly raise overall test scores by 30% or more. Student Response System can be used with just about any kind of online software program. I did not realize how often student response systems can be used with so many different programs. Since there are so many ways to use student response systems in the classroom, this would make it easier on teachers to access them for lessons.
