The 1st grade students in Mrs. Kowalczyk’s class at Baker did a fabulous job using the Activotes to review for an upcoming science test.  She used a Rags to Riches activity on Quia to display the questions for her students.  After hearing the question read aloud, students were able to select their answers using the Activotes.  As they pressed the letter for the answer they wanted to select, they would see their number light up indicating that they had voted.

After all of the answers are submitted, a graph is automatically generated that shows how many students selected each of the answer choices (A-D in this case). Mrs. Kowalczyk used this as a wonderful opportunity to analyze graphs. After looking carefully and answering a few questions about the graph, she let the students had a discussion about what the correct answer should be.

This was a fantastic way to get her students actively engaged in the lesson and review the content at the same time. The great news is that the Activotes can be used in a classroom with or without the Promethean board.
